Engagements,
observed.
Field Notes is where we publish the work: case studies from real engagements, essays on the methodology behind them, and shorter briefs on what we're observing across our practice. No marketing. Two-minute reads, occasionally longer.

Where 30% of AI projects die, and what survives.
Independent research from Gartner, BCG, and McKinsey now agrees on the failure mode. The path through it is narrow, but clearly documented.
The 991-app problem: what the connectivity data shows.
MuleSoft's annual benchmark and Forrester's integration TEI agree: the average enterprise is more disconnected than its leadership realizes, and the cost compounds quietly.
On being agnostic in tools, prescriptive in methods.
Why Platine refuses to lead with a technology stack, and what that means for how engagements are sold and delivered.
The shape of a typical engagement, week by week.
Most of our work falls into a recognizable rhythm: listening, diagnosis, design, delivery. Durations vary; the order does not.

Low-code platforms are seductive but lock you in. BPMS engines (Camunda, Temporal, n8n) cost more upfront and pay back tenfold in portability.
A practical Loi 25 readiness checklist.
Quebec's Law 25 has teeth. Most non-compliant systems are non-compliant in the same five places. Here's the checklist.
Why most digital transformations fail, and the pattern that survives.
McKinsey, BCG, and KPMG have separately measured the same outcome: roughly 70% of digital transformations fall short of their stated objectives. The minority that succeed share a remarkably consistent operating profile.
Five questions to ask any consulting firm before signing.
A practical buyer's checklist. None of these questions are about price. All of them predict whether the engagement will land or stall.
