What you'll learn
Why smart people consistently build broken systems
It's rarely bad ideas or weak execution — we trace the structural root cause that produces the same failure pattern.
The SIM: One meta-model for any venture
Live walkthrough of 4 Jump Engines × 4 Jump Drivers — the universal building blocks of any coherent venture.
Where AI creates leverage — and where it makes things worse
AI applied to a broken system produces faster failures. You'll map exactly where AI creates real leverage in yours.
How to apply the SIM lens to your own venture
You won't just study the framework — you'll leave with a first-pass systems diagnosis of your own venture.

Why this topic matters
MIT: 95% of AI pilots stall before they scale — not because of bad models, but because of what's missing underneath them. Andrej Karpathy calls the missing piece "agentic engineering." He's right: you cannot engineer agents into a system you don't understand. This session gives you that system: the Systems Intelligence Model (SIM).
