MCP Servers in Production: A 2026 Field Directory
The MCP registry is a directory of hundreds now. Most are hobby projects. We surveyed which servers are actually in production use in 2026, grouped them by domain, and flagged the ones we would not deploy — with reasons.
Beyond Rule of 40: The SaaS Metrics Boards Actually Read in 2026
The Rule of 40 was a decade of shorthand for SaaS health. It broke on the AI-cost era. We map the multi-metric framework serious boards now use — growth-efficiency triangle, AI-COGS disaggregation, Rule of X — and how to build the reporting.
SWE-bench: What It Actually Measures, and Where It Misleads
SWE-bench Verified is the benchmark every AI coding tool cites. But the score you see quoted often obscures what the test actually measures — and what it does not. We audited the methodology and the leaderboard against the claims teams make from them.
Cursor vs Claude Code: A Six-Month Practitioner Comparison
We ran the two dominant AI coding tools of 2026 side-by-side for six months on production work. This is the comparison our audit turned up — where each wins, where each loses, and what happens if you try to use both at the same time.

The 83(b) election is a one-page form with a hard 30-day deadline. Miss it and years of appreciation get taxed as ordinary income. This is the mechanics, the maths, and the specific edge cases that surprise people — written for founders about to sign, not tax students.
The Small Model Renaissance: When Big AI Doesn't Win
The narrative that big always wins is a partial narrative. We map the class of small, task-focused models that quietly took a growing share of production AI work — where they win, where they still lose, and what changed.
