Скачать или смотреть Retro No.16: 4 Videos, 1 Article, 1 Day - The Independent Business AI Opportunity

Week 16 delivered the validation I've been building towards: four videos and one complete article produced in a single day through AI workflows. After 15 weeks of infrastructure building, production now has significantly less friction.

🔥 MAJOR WINS THIS WEEK:
Four videos created and optimised in one day (used to take a week)
Designed two interactive content features that would have cost £15K+ pre-AI
Activated LinkedIn network (4,000 connections) with time-shifted content strategy
Identified UK's massive AI opportunity: 2.4 million businesses under £1M turnover

💡 KEY INSIGHT: Context engineering is overblown. It's just like talking to a five-year-old - break stuff down into simplistic, concise messaging. Parents have a head start.

🎯 WHAT WE'RE BUILDING:
Listen on the Go - Audio summaries of every article (£2-5 per article vs £500-1,000 pre-AI)
Hover Video Previews - Interactive article cards (£50 API costs vs £5K-10K motion graphics studio)

⚠️ WHAT BROKE:
Pulled the "further reading" block from homepage - creating false expectations. Better execution needed.

📊 STRATEGIC SHIFT: Moving from "how does this work?" to "how do I help others use this?" The methodology is proven. Now it's about documenting and teaching it.

🎯 THE OPPORTUNITY: 94.6% of UK VAT/PAYE registered businesses are below £1M turnover. These 2.4 million businesses have the biggest AI opportunity if they can be shown what's economically viable with HITL approach.

NEXT WEEK'S FOCUS: Audio summaries could be live as proof-of-concept by end of week. Both builds become Platform Tools & Tech articles demonstrating what's now possible.

THE COMPOUND EFFECT: Fifteen weeks of infrastructure building. One day producing at scale. This is what HITL methodology delivers - systems that multiply capability without multiplying effort.
