Public case study · AI and decision support · 2026

“How you do anything is how you do everything.”

So I ran my own job search the way I’d run a client’s marketing: one product, several kinds of buyers, a message tailored to each, and no claim I can’t back up. I built an AI agent to do the heavy lifting, and I wrote the rules it has to follow. It’s the same model I’d use to govern AI that touches customer data.

355confirmed facts every claim must trace to

Counts from my own tracker and fact files, October 2026.

The problem

One candidate, several kinds of buyers

Twenty years covers competitive intelligence, measurement, analytics products and AI. A recruiter skimming for an insights lead and a hiring manager hiring a product marketer need different evidence from the same career. A generic résumé undersells the fit. An AI-written application oversells it, and hiring teams can tell.

That is a marketing problem I know well, so I treated it like one.

The strategy

Segment, then personalize

I defined four segments, each with its own résumé, homepage order and lead proof. Then I scored every role on skill fit, culture and pace, pay and location, and set red flags for always-on, frontline performance roles.

AIDecision intelligence and AI-enabled workflows

The highest-priority employers get a page of their own, shared only with them: the same facts, ordered around what that team needs.

The system

Facts are locked. The prose is free.

Every claim in every application traces to my own records. Every packet passes through the same five stages.

  1. Facts

    355 confirmed rows from my own records. No row, no claim.

  2. Rules

    One rulebook. A letter runs 250 to 310 words, tells two stories at most and never ends on a gap.

  3. Agent

    Claude finds and scores roles, assembles each résumé from my approved library and drafts the rest for me to review and rewrite.

  4. Checks

    A claims check and a packet audit must pass. A second AI reviewer reads major changes cold.

  5. Me

    I approve every role and send everything myself. The agent never contacts anyone.

The operating principle

“Be sure you’re right, then go ahead.”

My dad’s rule, and the reason the system works. The facts and checks are the first half. Speed is the second: once a role is approved, the packet comes together fast, which matters because my rule is to apply within 72 hours of a posting.

Be sure you’re right…

Locked facts, a do-not-name list, numeric limits and two independent checks before anything ships.

…then go ahead.

Tailored packets, role pages and outreach drafts built fast, so I can apply early and spend my time on conversations.

Privacy by design

Client data stays behind the door

My best work belongs partly to my clients, and the roles I want involve customer data and AI. So this site is built the way I’d want a client’s data handled.
