We instinctually gravitate towards clear objectives, measurable outcomes, defined success metrics. But here's the counterintuitive truth: the moment you can write a perfect job description, you can outsource it.

Definition leads to commoditization. The clearest tasks are easiest to bid out to a pool of candidates.

If you find yourself frustrated by fuzzy objectives, unclear success criteria, or goals that shift as you work toward them—congratulations. You're operating in the space where human judgment, creativity, and adaptability matter most. You're doing work that resists automation, outsourcing, and commoditization.

The discomfort you feel is the growth process that doesn't come with a map drawn for you.

Execution matters—that's the baseline for competency. The next level is navigating problems that don't yet have names, creating value in ways no one can document in a manual. This is where you stop following processes and start defining new work.

For now, almost all of the work in AI investing operates where there is no text book. Embrace the fuzziness. It's not a bug—it's your competitive advantage.
