    ABOUT THIS LIST

    “You spent real hours with this book. The least I can do is keep you posted on what changes next.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Because the book is finished, but the field isn’t. This list is where I share new AI-in-BI ideas, corrections, and material that came after publication, all tied back to what you already read.

    Yes. The main newsletter is broad BI and AI news for anyone. This list is written specifically for people who’ve read the book, and everything ties back to its frameworks and the Avelto Rentals case study.

    Of course. You’ll get the same updates and extras. Some of it may reference chapters you haven’t reached yet, but nothing here spoils the case study.

    How often will I hear from you?

    About twice a month: one practical extra (template, deep dive, or update) and one shorter note. No launch hype, no recap emails.

    Keep the book working after you close it.
