Lens

How we look at a specific question, a metric, a method, a category of work, and what that lens reveals. Lens pieces are less argumentative than Worldview pieces and more practical. They’re the kind of thing you’d read if you have a specific question ("how should I think about CAC?" or "what does 'AI in marketing' actually mean for a mid-market company?") and want a clear, opinionated answer. If you’re here because you have a specific question, start in this lane.
