90%+ enterprise AI tool access, most people stuck in chat. The rollout bottleneck isn't the model. It's the harness. Here's the product fix.

The top AI user in high-performing companies isn't engineering — it's the CMO. Here's why that's the real signal for whether AI adoption has reached the decision layer.

Product teams reflexively strip onboarding friction. Intentional friction that helps users understand why the product is for them increases conversion.

The best AI growth teams deliberately sacrifice short-term metrics. Restraint on pricing, error handling, and safety compounds into retention and trust.

Enterprise software encodes decades of domain knowledge across every architectural layer. Vibe coding can't shortcut what took thousands of people 25 years to accumulate.

Growth teams trained in linear markets spend 70% on small experiments. In exponential markets, that allocation captures a rounding error.

AI coding tools tripled engineering output overnight. PM and design headcount stayed flat. The ratio broke, and most orgs haven't noticed yet.

Chat is the wrong interface for AI agents in professional software work. A well-written issue is a better agent instruction than any prompt.
