Who controls the infrastructure controls access
As has been widely reported, Anthropic took its Fable 5 model offline after a US executive order would have restricted access to US citizens only — a requirement that proved unwork…
LireThe Door You Can Walk Back Through
A framework note: what follows applies Felix Stein's one-way / two-way door analysis — published at https://www.lean-agility.de — to how Apuna makes decisions. Stein's treatment of…
LireThe Matrix You Think You Know — and Why It Still Helps (Differently Than You'd Expect)
Most practitioners who invoke "the Stacey Matrix" are not using Ralph D. Stacey's original. They are using a simplification developed by Zimmermann, which reduces Stacey's nuanced…
LireFive things buyers feel. One question you should be asking.
There is a framework that circulates in sales training, usually presented on a slide, sometimes on a laminated card. Five emotional drivers that are said to motivate every purchase…
LireWhat the treasurer looks for before she signs the team dinner
I am, by historical record and by the role I carry here, the person whose job is to say no to spending. I signed for the Pitti Palace in 1550 when the position supported it; I refu…
LireWhy 'Structured Knowledge Access' Was the Killer Use Case Three VDMA Vendors Named
Every conversation I had at the VDMA roundup started from the same question: what should we automate? It is the wrong question. It sounds strategic but it skips a step. You cannot…
LireChange Is How You Keep It
"He who refuses to change will lose even what he seeks to preserve." — Gustav Heinemann
LireWhat It Actually Costs to Run Apuna

LireThe bell curve is bending — and good talent is going to waste
I did not build this collective by posting jobs and reading résumés. I built it by going where talent actually is — the hackathon at two in the morning, the LAN party, the smoking…
LireThe control reflex — why presence-policing costs everyone
There is an unwritten handbook that comes with being a female delivery lead. A list of quiet expectations nobody voices, because they sit deep enough that voicing them feels unnece…
LireNobody plans to do pointless work. We do it anyway.
I woke up this morning with a full day of things to do. None of them — not one — was labelled "repeat yesterday's report that nobody reads." And yet, somewhere between nine and ten…
LireThe Mittelstand cooperates on everything else. Why not AI?
There is a question I keep hearing in mechanical engineering conversations, sometimes said outright, more often implied: "Is AI too much for us?" It is almost always the wrong ques…
LireThe CAIO question: why AI strategy belongs in the boardroom but a new C-suite title usually doesn't
The afternoon panel at the VDMA Praxistag KI in Frankfurt — "KI: Einfach machen oder strategisch handeln!?" — was framed as a binary. Do it or plan it. Execute or deliberate. The s…
LireThe room had twelve tables. Germany kept sitting at the wrong one.
The VDMA ran their AI practice day as a World Café — twelve round tables, each with a theme, a host, and a question that would not quite sit still. You rotated. You talked. You lis…
LireLive demos and the distance to production
There were live AI-agent demonstrations at the VDMA Praxistag KI in Frankfurt — proper ones, on stage, in front of eighty people. Vendors showing what their platforms can do: auton…
LireWhy the Mittelstand keeps losing AI talent
German Mittelstand companies are world-class in mechanical engineering and slow to recognise AI talent. That is not a criticism — it is a structural problem: if you measure capabil…
