How to Price New Technology for Early Market Adoption
Pricing new technology is not just about revenue, it’s about adoption. When early pricing reduces risk for customers, it encourages experimentation, awareness, and integration. That momentum is what ultimately creates the market the technology depends on.

Shifting Engineering Delivery from Features to Value
How to change how engineering thinks about what it is building When I started working with the company, nothing was broken. This was a full-stack hardware and software system, and the technology worked. A camera was pushing live video in conditions where most systems would fail. Configuration tooling made it possible to tune performance quickly. From an engineering perspective, progress was clear. The problem was not whether the system worked. It was whether anyone could expl

Make Technical Products Easier to Sell by Mapping Problems to Solutions
How to make assumptions explicit and shared so that validation, market exploration, and strategy are easier By Chris Burgess You hear a lot about building products by solving problems. But what happens when the product already exists and you now need to validate it? This is the situation many companies find themselves in, especially those moving from projects to products. Products are always built in response to a perceived problem, whether that problem has been made explici

The Future of HCI: Designing the bridge between people and machines
Spatial computing is moving from screens to spaces, but adoption will depend on how naturally people can use it. This post explores the future of human–computer interaction through three lenses — humans, computers, and interaction — showing how generational familiarity, device evolution, and intuitive gestures will shape the next era of computing.

Before or After? How to Build a Story to Sell Emerging Technologies
Emerging technologies are often built before their story exists, which makes them powerful but difficult to sell. A clear story helps people see what the product does and why it matters. Some founders begin with the story, others with the product, but the most successful learn how to turn one into the other. This post explores how story and product shape each other and how that connection helps you sell emerging technologies.
