Architecture, security, and implementation notes from production enterprise AI work.

Written for the people responsible for making these systems work: architecture decisions with their trade-offs, security findings, deployment patterns, and the parts of enterprise AI that are harder than the vendor documentation suggests.

No predictions, no vendor commentary, no roundups. Every post here contains at least one of: an architecture diagram, a measured result, a working example, or a documented failure mode. If it contains none of those, it does not publish.
