- CEOs must reframe AI from a chat tool to an infrastructure problem for their company.
- Treat models as utilities and focus on building rails that let AI compound company knowledge.

- Integrate all company sources into a unified system that structures metadata and relationships.
- Build context before querying LLMs so prompts don't become the sole source of context.
