The Enterprise Standard

The Enterprise Standard is written by Michael J. Silva, founder of Emely AI. It covers one problem: the distance between building something an enterprise wants and being a company an enterprise can actually buy from.

Most AI products clear technical evaluation. Far fewer clear security review, procurement, privacy and risk. The product is rarely the reason a deal stalls. The evidence is missing, or it arrives after the moment it would have counted.

That gap is the whole subject here. Not theory, not vendor roundups - what enterprise buyers actually require, when they require it, and what it costs to assemble after the fact instead of before.

The monthly brief

One piece, first Tuesday. Written for founders and operators with a real deal sitting in a real review, not for a general audience. If a question keeps coming up in our client work, it ends up here.

From Pilot to Production

A running series on the architecture, controls and artifacts that make a build defensible under diligence. Each entry covers one decision, why it looks optional early, and what it costs to reverse once an enterprise is asking.

Know, Like, Trust and Revenue

A separate note for referral partners and the people who send us work. Everyone says the first three words and stops. This one is about the fourth. Sent by Gersh, not published here.
