Metric Capture
A metric does not just measure. It allocates. Which makes changing one an act of politics, not analytics.
But certain truths about people, ideas, and systems persist. What doesn't change are the principles that make products work. I explore those truths for people building under acceleration: connecting philosophy, economics, behavioural science, and product leadership into a practice that survives time.

Measuring value in innovation: Build only for what you can price and you fund incrementalism; chase only what you can't and you fund science projects with no impact.
Building with AI: Part 2/2. Every AI product carries a line between what may vary and what must not. Where you draw it is the product.
Building with AI: Part 1/2. As AI takes the middle of the work, the judgement does not shrink: it concentrates at the edges.
A primitive is capability; a product is value. Translation has always been the PM's territory. With AI, capability is cheap, and judgment is exposed.
The job has changed; the questions have not. For product managers building with AI: what is genuinely new, and what isn't.
