Insights
Practical observations. Unexpected connections.
Notes on problems, patterns, systems, decisions, and the things that become interesting when you look a little closer.
FEATURED field NOTE
The spreadsheet everyone is afraid to change.
It started as a temporary solution. Now an important business process depends on it.
from the FIELD
Problems encountered. Patterns noticed. Lessons worth keeping.
Data & Systems
Two reports. Two answers. Same question.
Two reports can disagree without either one being wrong. The difference is often in the rules underneath the numbers.
PRICING & MARGINS
The price changed. The margin didn’t.
Sometimes the problem isn’t the price itself. It’s a cost, markup, fee, or assumption somewhere underneath it that never moved.
from the journal
Ideas, observations, and the occasional unexpected connection.
systems & space
The Library.
An empty bookshelf, an old lesson about hard drives, and a thought about designing room for things that don’t exist yet.
patterns & perception
Some roads are scenic roads. Others are gauntlets.
A scenic route, a stressful intersection, and the invisible calculations I didn’t realize I was making.
