Practical notes on deciding, building and operating.

Short field notes on technology investment, AI implementation, pilots and operating performance.

A practical test for a technology pilot

Five questions to answer before funding a pilot: the operating problem, baseline, decision owner, delivery dependencies and evidence required to proceed.

Applied AI

Start with the workflow, not the model

AI projects become easier to evaluate when the task, baseline, failure modes and human decision points are defined first.

Sustainable mobility

Electrification pilots should start with duty cycle

Before choosing motors or batteries, understand the real route, load, operating schedule, charging window, backup requirements and approval pathway.
