Foundational AI: Do's and Don'ts
The ops lead left in July and the Monday invoice chase stopped in August, quietly, with no error and no alert. The handover doc was never the deliverable. The list of what runs under their name was, and three of the four platforms you use will not tell you it exists.

Anthropic shipped 43 ready-to-run small business workflows yesterday, including one that answers an after-hours web form, qualifies it, books it, and logs it. The connector counts underneath each one are the real story, and so is the input nobody mentions.
