Garbage In, Confidence Out

0:000:00↓ MP3
Before you automate discovery, define what good actually looks like.

AI makes good work faster-good and bad work faster-bad — and now the bad work looks polished. Before you automate discovery or demo prep, you have to define what good looks like.

What Nate and Ava discuss

  • Why automating a weak baseline just industrializes the weakness
  • Extracting 'what good looks like' from your two or three best SEs
  • Keeping a human on the output long enough to catch drift

The move

Before automating any part of the SE workflow, write down what good looks like — sourced from your strongest people. Then, and only then, let the machine scale it.
