About
Operator-first AI consulting. Not McKinsey. Not a generic agency.
I run AI strategy work for retail, ecommerce, and multi-location marketing teams. By day I sit inside a multi-location retail operation (Verano), which means I get reps on the same operating constraints my clients face — inventory pressure, brand consistency across stores, the politics of in-store vs. digital budget allocation, the mismatch between what the dashboard says and what the store manager observes.
That operator context is the inversion of typical AI consulting. Most AI consultants have technology fluency without operating reps. The advice they give is ungrounded — it pattern-matches to demos rather than to your actual operating envelope. The audit you buy from this practice does not have that gap.
Why Completions
The brand name is deliberate. AI in 2026 is a stack of half-completed loops — pilots that never reached production, tools no one trusts, dashboards no one reads. The work of this practice is finishing those loops where finishing them compounds, and naming the ones that should be abandoned.
Public work
howtothink.ai — 1,700 lessons on personal epistemology. ~9,700 SEO FAQ pages. Knowledge-graph navigation. AI-driven content pipeline. The same architectural thinking I apply inside client engagements, but in public so you can see how I work before you hire me.
How I work
One to two paid engagements at a time. Audit first, retainer only if both sides agree. Direct contact — no junior associates, no slide reviews, no scope creep. If a question is outside my judgment, I will say so and recommend someone with the right context.
