This Week In AI Business: The Tariffs Issue [Week #14-2025]
A few weeks back, in The Geopolitical Issue, I explained our transition and the bumpy road ahead.
But where do we start to make sense of all of this?
Well, from the iPhone. Let me explain why.
The weekly newsletter is in the spirit of what it means to be a Business Engineer:
We always want to ask three core questions:
What’s the shape of the underlying technology that connects the value prop to its product?
What’s the shape of the underlying business that connects the value prop to its distribution?
How does the business survive in the short term while adhering to its long-term vision through transitional business modeling and market dynamics?
These non-linear analyses aim to isolate the short-term buzz and noise, find the signal, and ensure you can reconcile the short-term with the long-term!
