The Hidden Barrier to Disruption
What keeps me up at night: while many leaders debate AI strategy, a few organisations are quietly forging an intelligence barrier so deep that others won’t catch up for years. These companies aren’t just investing in marginal model improvements or expanding data teams, they’re taking their domain knowledge, heuristics, decision rules, and workflows and encoding them into autonomous agent networks. Over time, those agents adapt more tightly to real business systems and form structural advantage that’s hard to replicate.
In the agentic era, the real moat isn’t models, it’s how your AI understands you.
