The P&L Trace
Value shows up in one place: results. Take every AI claim your business makes and trace it to a line in the P&L. If it does not trace, it is narrative - fine, as long as you do not mistake it for money in the account.
This one is for readers of The Signal.
Add your name and The P&L Trace opens right here, on this page. You also get one sharp idea about AI and leadership every Tuesday, each with a companion like this one.
Founding readers also get The Starting Line, my $47 course, free. One email a week. Unsubscribe any time, and your data is yours - we never sell or share it.
