FIELD NOTES

What we learn
while we build.

We share what we see on the ground. Which workflows create a rhythm, which we threw out, and what it takes for an agentic team to actually breathe. No hype, no thought leadership. Just the notes.

The trend radar that never sleeps: from deep research to live content

Spotting market trends is easy. Spotting them in time, validating them and turning them into publications that still matter: that is the work. Six months building a research-to-content loop that never stops, and the three-layer radar we landed on.

Why agentic teams need a rhythm, not a roadmap

Most AI projects don't fail because of the technology. They fail on cadence. What we learned from three quarters of building: a team only works when there's a beating heart.

The briefing loop: how you teach an agent what “good” means

Prompt engineering is overrated. What actually works is a short, repeatable protocol for feeding the agent examples, corrections and taste. This is the format we landed on.

Case

Case: from 4 to 11 posts per week, with no extra headcount

A B2B SaaS client was stuck at four blog posts a week. Two months of orchestration later: eleven, at higher quality scores. What we changed, and what we didn't.

Field note

Where agents get stuck (and why that's not a problem)

An honest log from one week: four tasks the agents couldn't handle, and what we did about each. Most fixes were human, not technical.

Content operations is the new sales operations

Ten years ago every serious B2B organisation built a sales ops function. Now they're doing the same for content. Here's what that means for how you structure your team.

The checklist every new block passes before production

Before a new capability joins the orchestration it runs through an internal qualification. 17 points, 3 days, one hard gate. Here's the list.

Case

Case: why we deliberately turned off the lead-gen block

The client wanted more leads. We turned the lead-gen block off and built the foundations first. Three months later: 40% lower CAC at the same volume. The logic, explained.
