The editorial brief

What works when small teams build with AI.

Charting Alpha looks past launch-day claims and studies what holds up in the work: the setup, the result, and what changes next.

01

AI in practice

How AI changes research, product work, and the jobs a small team can take on.

02

Products and distribution

What it takes to turn a useful product into something customers can find and trust.

03

Operating small

Systems, tools, and decisions that help a small company move with focus.

CHARTING ALPHA / ISSUE 001 IN PROGRESS

First dispatch

The first dispatch is taking shape.

It will start with the work: one concrete experiment, what happened, and what I would change next. Newsletter signup will open here when it is ready.

From the lab

Where some of the experiments happen.

PromptEden and RidgeHQ are products Tom is building. When a dispatch draws on either one, that relationship will be clear.
