How is this different from the Substack essays?

Substack publishes the narrative. The Vault packages the same ideas as printable canvases you take into workshops and leadership meetings.

Canvas or cheat sheet, what’s the difference?

Both are single-page PDFs. The format differs by how you use them in a session.

  • Canvas, workshop one-pager with boxes and prompts to fill in live.
  • Cheat sheet, compact visual reference to scan before a decision.
Where are the AI and agentic strategy frameworks?

Look in three clusters across the library:

  • Artificial Intelligence, model types and AI as a strategic layer.
  • Intelligence Layer, automation, knowledge leverage, and compounding intelligence.
  • AI Strategic Playbook, agentic ops, governance, data advantage, and the intelligence economy.

  • Each cheat is designed as a single-page decision tool.
