About the Book

Most professionals use AI for snippets — a function here, a rewritten paragraph there. They're leaving 90% of the value on the table.

This book introduces a methodology for collaborating with AI on real production work, built from five projects and 30 years of systems building experience. At its core are two roles: The Architect, who sets direction by communicating constraints, context, and strategic decisions in words; and The Navigator, who steers through AI's output, catching gaps, pushing back on assumptions, and iterating until the result matches what experience says is right.

Through these projects — a SaaS platform, a fundraising integration blueprint, a legacy migration roadmap, a full enterprise application migration, and a government proposal — 16 principles emerged that consistently separate wasted AI conversations from production-quality results.

This is an early access edition. Chapters 1-2 cover the complete framework and all 16 principles. Case study chapters showing the methodology in action on real projects are coming soon. Early access readers receive all future updates at no additional cost.
