A personal operating principle

AI is the most useful when it becomes part of a repeatable system. That means clear inputs, useful memory, good review loops, and an output someone can act on. My work sits between strategy and implementation.

About me

Cedric De Schaut professional portrait

I have worked across data engineering, BI, technical consulting, ecommerce, media operations, growth, and applied AI education. That mix makes me curious about the gap between a promising demo and a system people trust enough to use every week.

So I care about the unglamorous parts: evidence, handoffs, ownership, review, and the small decisions that make an AI workflow compound instead of disappear into another chat thread.

01 / ClarityMake the category, question, and next action legible.
02 / EvidenceRemember the sources, caveats, and decisions behind the output.
03 / CadenceDesign for the team rhythm, not the one-off experiment.
04 / UsefulnessMeasure whether someone can make a better decision.
