The agency of one: the operating system I run a whole company on

Not a productivity stack — an operating system. The loops running the company, the business brain underneath them, and the revenue-per-person number that says one operator is enough.

The org chart of one to five — without hiring four people

Most owners scale by adding headcount. I scale by closing the next loop. The five roles a growing company fills, which loop absorbs each, and the one thing that never gets delegated.

How self-improving loops fail (and the gate that catches it)

Everyone starts with a personal AI workflow. The leap is making it a company's brain — legible, shared, written back to by every run. What changes when knowledge, not the model, is the thing you invest in.

What running a company on loops actually costs

human.txt: writing for the agents that read your company

If agents are the audience, publish for them on purpose. The agent-readable brief I wrote about my company — what's in it, why, and a log of an agent using it correctly.

Migrating a real business to AI-native: the playbook

Not theory — the sequence I'd run to move a live business onto loops without stopping it. One real before/after operating map, the first loop closed, the open loop it replaced.
