A four-agent research round traced the caption-retention statistics the industry cites back to their sources and found most of them empty or a decade old. The result is a recorded caption policy: clean by default, client-electable per distribution account, with toggleable caption tracks shipping on every deliverable.
The client voice system moved from provisional to ratified: a 43-rule row-by-row sort through a purpose-built interactive artifact, folded into the two canon guide files the same day. Copy now generates inside positive writing rules, with the detection audits demoted to backstop.
The take-manifest walker now captures every read of a section as its own candidate, so a principal can record three takes back to back and pick the keeper in the studio. Candidates surface as lettered rows with transcript evidence per attempt, and an unclaimed-speech report flags anything the walker missed before approvals begin.
Mapped the full Woodpecker API surface - read, write, and off-limits - into a phased capability plan that separates what the console can't do from what it deliberately won't.
Built a read-only scope probe into the toolkit and verified the partner API key end to end: every read the console needs confirmed live, cross-client data structurally walled off, and two undocumented quirks surfaced before they could bite.
Where This Is Heading
What's Cooking
Several things at once, as usual:
- AI systems and automation that take repetitive work off people's plates
- Websites and web apps that ship and do what they're supposed to
- Building out entertainment spaces with live sound and light systems
- There have been a bunch of tools that started as a personal experiment and ended up solving a real problem for a real client
- I've been playing in a brand-new space for me — ARGs — Stay tuned for more
On the surface, those don't have much in common. But the same instincts that make a live show run smoothly are the ones that make a software system hold together under pressure. The people I work with get the benefit of all of it, and it's a whole lot of fun.
The Endgame
Same pattern as always, just covering more ground.
Decades across sales training, military service, and enterprise technology will do that. The focus has shifted hard into AI development over the last couple of years, and it's been a hell of a ride so far.
People come back to work with me and bring friends because something got solved, something shipped, and they've got more problems worth solving.
The work itself:
- AI and automation has moved past experimentation — it's running for real clients, on real deadlines, giving people huge amounts of time back in their week
- The sound and lighting work is still a blast — years on stage before I ever stood behind a board means the people performing get someone who knows what it feels like from both sides
- My friends and clients who get things solved keep coming back with more challenges and bringing new friends along that often become new clients.
No master plan. But the pattern holds, the range keeps expanding, and something useful comes out the other side.
