True or False  (but why?)

42% of companies scrapped their AI projects this year, a sharp rise from 17% last year. 

This highlights a trend in project initiation and abandonment.

You built the expertise. I’ll build the audience. | Making executives impossible to ignore | Owner of @DirectSourceAI | Top 4% on LI

Chasing trends feels like momentum, but it’s often just distraction. 

Real influence comes from aligning your content with your core principles and the challenges your audience actually faces. 

Write less about what’s new — write more about what works. That’s how you build lasting influence.

Most professionals don’t lack expertise — they lack visibility.

 What sets leaders apart isn’t talent, it’s the willingness to show their work consistently.

 If your peers know you’re good but the market doesn’t, you don’t have a skill problem — you have an exposure problem.

 Fix that, and everything else moves with it.

Reputation used to spread by word-of-mouth.

 Today it spreads by what people see you say and watch you do online.
 A strong reputation can shorten sales cycles, open doors you didn’t knock on, and attract opportunities you never pitched.

 It’s the most valuable asset you’ll build in your career — treat it that way.

Everyone talks about posting more — but the real win isn’t frequency, it’s depth. 

Shares that teach something, comments that spark conversations, and insights that only you could write are the currency of trust. 

When your posts feel like consulting instead of noise, LinkedIn stops being a platform and starts being a pipeline.

The Silent Crisis in AI: Thousands of Abandoned Projects—And the Opportunity They Create

The AI boom has unleashed a wave of innovation unlike anything we’ve seen in decades. New tools, models, automations, dashboards, and micro-SaaS ideas appear every single day. Yet behind the excitement lies a growing and often overlooked reality: an enormous number of AI projects are abandoned before they ever reach their potential.

Developers and founders worldwide have half-finished tools sitting in private repos, early-stage agents left untouched for months, and powerful ideas trapped at 70% completion. Not because the creators lack skill—far from it—but because life, timing, resources, get in the way.
This phenomenon has quietly become one of the most significant missed opportunities in today’s AI landscape.
The truth is clear: AI creators don’t have the time, structure, or business support to finish, package, and monetize what they’ve built. 

Unfinished Doesn’t Mean Unvaluable
Most abandoned AI tools already contain tremendous value:
Functioning back-end logic
Niche use-cases with real market demand
Core automation workflows
Working models needing only refinement
Tools that solve problems founders originally built just for themselves
These aren’t failures. They’re assets waiting for direction, structure, and representation.

Finishing an AI project requires more than code. It requires:
Positioning
Market alignment
Business modeling
Packaging
Messaging
Strategic buyer outreach
And that’s exactly where I come in.

Where I Fit Into This Hidden Market
I work directly with AI developers, founders, and technical creators to help them complete, position, and potentially sell or scale their unfinished projects. With my background in business consulting, operations, PR, valuation strategy, and developer outreach, I act as the bridge between raw innovation and commercial opportunity.

Most creators don’t need more hours in the day—they need someone who can:
Evaluate what they’ve built
Identify the fastest path to completion
Determine its market value
Package the project professionally
Help secure users, buyers, or partners
Increase visibility and credibility
Guide the project toward real-world traction

AI creators shouldn’t feel stuck or overwhelmed. With the right support, these tools can move from abandoned to acquired, from good ideas to revenue-producing assets.

The Market Is Ready—But Developers Need a Partner
Businesses want AI solutions now. They aren’t waiting for perfection; they’re waiting for functionality. If your tool solves a problem, even partially, there is a market for it. Investors and operators are actively searching for projects they can revive and grow. That’s why this moment matters.The industry isn’t suffering from a lack of innovation.

If you're a developer or founder with an unfinished AI tool—or if you want help positioning a project for acquisition or strategic exposure—I’m here to help guide the process.

Burt Steingraeber

You’ll never “hack” your way to authority with one viral post. 

What works long-term is showing up with consistent, relevant insights that make your audience think differently. 

When people start saying “Finally someone who gets it,” that’s when momentum begins — even without paid tools.

Most buyers don’t like, comment, or engage.

 But they see your posts, read your insights, and form an opinion long before they reach out.

 This is why consistency matters — your silent audience is often your most valuable one.

 Speak to them even if you can’t see them.

AI is moving so fast that thousands of tools and projects get abandoned before they ever reach the market. 

Most are 60–90% finished and full of untapped value. I help developers and founders evaluate, position, and revive these assets—turning idle code into real opportunities and revenue. 

If you’ve built something but never finished it, I can help you bring it to the finish line.

I'm sure many people have used AI for holiday shopping suggestions.

According to an Associated Press poll, most Americans have noticed higher prices on everything from groceries to utilities, and they're planning to spend less this holiday season as a result.

Cash-strapped Americans turn to AI for holiday shopping help

People don’t buy services from strangers — they buy from people they feel they know. 

Real authority is built when your content feels like a conversation, not a sales pitch. Share challenges you’ve solved, decisions you’ve wrestled with, and lessons that changed how you work. 

That’s where real dialogue starts.

I've led supply chain transformations that delivered over $8.5M in verifiable cost savings while building resilient operations across military, retail, and manufacturing environments. My approach: treat every supply chain as a strategic asset, not a cost center.

What drives my success:
My foundation in military logistics—managing $65M in assets and 500+ personnel across 10 international locations—developed my core competencies in strategic planning, crisis management, and leading large-scale operations under pressure. I've successfully translated this operational discipline into measurable business outcomes in commercial environments.
Recent strategic achievements:

Spearheaded $200M+ supply chain transformation integrating SAP S/4HANA and Kinaxis across multi continent operations, driving enterprise-wide visibility
Generated $5M+ annual savings through strategic sourcing program covering 300+ suppliers, reducing disruptions by 35%
Enhanced working capital by 12% deploying real-time control tower and IBP process for 5,000+ SKUs
Elevated on-time delivery from 89% to 97% through Lean Six Sigma initiatives while reducing freight costs 18%
Led ERP transformation automating 40% of workflows, improving forecast accuracy by 25% for 50,000+ SKUs
Built comprehensive risk management framework reducing supply disruptions by 40%

My leadership philosophy:
I build high-performing teams by combining military precision with commercial agility. Whether mentoring 13 project managers or aligning IT, Finance, and Sales teams, I focus on creating cultures of continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making.
Areas of expertise:
✓ Supply Chain Transformation & Cost Optimization
✓ Operations Management & Network Design
✓ Digital Leadership (SAP S/4HANA, Kinaxis RapidResponse, Advanced Analytics)
✓ P&L Management & Strategic Sourcing ($8M+ budgets)
✓ Military-Grade Crisis Management & Business Continuity
✓ Lean Six Sigma Black Belt & Operational Excellence
✓ Team Development & Cross-Functional Leadership
Currently exploring senior supply chain and operations leadership opportunities where military-honed discipline meets commercial innovation. Let's connect if you're looking for a proven leader who delivers measurable impact.

ISO 9001: The Predator That Hunts Down Organizational Chaos 🎯
Every supply chain faces the Alien—the silent threat lurking in shadows: uncontrolled variability, hidden defects, supplier chaos, and process gaps that bleed margin and erode customer trust. 👾

Then comes the Predator: ISO 9001 compliance. 🛡️

Here's what most don't realize: ISO 9001 isn't just a certification or checkbox. It's a systematic hunter that:

✓ Maps the Kill Zone – Forces you to define end-to-end processes with surgical precision. Every step, every handoff, every risk is visible.

✓ Eliminates the Unseen – Nonconformity tracking, root cause analysis, and corrective action become reflex. You stop fighting fires; you prevent them.

✓ Turns Supply Chain into a Weapon – Supplier audits, quality metrics, inventory controls, and performance data flow like predator instinct. Your whole ecosystem strengthens.

✓ Builds a Culture of Relentless Improvement – Continuous improvement isn't a poster on the wall. It's your competitive advantage.

The Real Win?
When ISO 9001 takes hold, you shift from reactive scrambling to proactive excellence. Margins improve. On-time delivery climbs. Customer satisfaction becomes predictable. Your team moves from survival mode to mastery.

Fifteen years in supply chain ops—three years embedding ISO 9001 into IATF 16949 frameworks, supplier networks, and cross-functional teams—taught me this: organizations that hunt for nonconformity before customers do don't just survive; they dominate.

Are you hunting, or being hunted? 🔥
