The Contested Band The Enterprise AI Coordinate System — cover
Where the value — and the war — is decided
The category is not the map. Structural position is the only thing that survives a buying decision.

For a large enterprise, the risk is no longer failing to adopt AI. The risk is adopting it incorrectly — buying by vendor category instead of by where a capability actually sits in the stack.

The Coordinate System maps the upper layers (where the work accumulates) against the lower layers (where the machinery runs), and marks the contested band — where the value, and the war, is really decided.
