AI news consumes leadership attention out of all proportion to its strategic relevance. Most announcements are noise. This framework gives you a 60-second filter that separates the developments worth tracking from the ones safe to ignore.

What's inside

Two-step evaluation: red-flag check (vendor hype vs. real capability) followed by categorization into Strategic Shift, Capability Expansion, Tactical Update, or Noise. Decide attention level in under a minute.

How to use it

  1. Read the whole framework before applying any single piece. Frameworks are interconnected systems.
  2. Test against a real situation. Frameworks that don't move you toward a decision usually have a missing variable.
  3. Document where the framework breaks down for your context. Every framework has edge cases — knowing yours is the actual leverage.
