Why 2026 Is the Year
Three years of building. Now I'm taking on select transformation projects. Here's why.
2023 was plowing — learning AI, building fluency, going deep on how human-AI collaboration actually works.
2024 was planting — WOTC shipped, production systems went live, patterns crystallized into frameworks.
2025 was growing — 132 repos, 366K messages indexed, the Brain MCP queryable in 256ms.
2026 is harvest.
"Harvest has been my theme of 2026. Not looking to be famous. Not looking to make billions. Not looking to go viral. But I know that I'm ready to harvest."
What does harvest mean? It means the infrastructure is built. The fluency is there. The patterns are proven. Now it's time to deploy that capability for others.
The Sovereign Architect model exists because of this timing:
THREE YEARS OF COMPOUND LEARNING — 359K messages of AI conversation. Every engagement makes the next one faster. The pattern library is deep.
PROVEN SYSTEMS — Not experiments. Production systems that generated $200K+. The WOTC case study isn't a demo — it's running in the real world.
QUERYABLE KNOWLEDGE — The Brain MCP means I don't lose context. Previous solutions are retrievable in 256ms. Every past project informs the next.
"Ships at 80% rather than dying at 0%. Ship at 80% or die at 0%."
The mandate for 2026: Ship imperfect. 80% shipped beats 100% imagined. Perfectionism has killed more transformations than incompetence ever did.
This is why Proof of Value is free. I'd rather ship a working prototype in 5 days than spend 3 months on a perfect proposal that never gets built.
"This is the year of harvest. No new fields. Reap what's planted."
I'm not looking to scale to 50 clients. I'm looking for select transformation projects where the compound learning of three years can create outsized impact.
If your company is org-locked — capital available but transformation stuck — this is the year to move.
The infrastructure is ready. The model is proven. The question is: what's your bottleneck?
