His work may be unsavory, but he's good at his craft.

Frank Abagnale committed financial crimes and had a wildly popular movie made from his story.

Interesting take.

Assumes we all benefit from playing into the system Uber created.

Maybe true on a local maximum.

But is it true on the global one?

Does this plug in to any KYB providers to handle exceptions?

We have AiPrise already embedded but it'd be nice to have an agent do a first pass to review exceptions that get flagged for manual review.

Honestly I love the direction and I do this all the time.

If you could 1) integrate directly with iMessage so I'm literally just texting and 2) have your interface provide me some sort of LLM summary tool/weekly digest/remind me of things smartly (I dunno it's up to you to figure out), I'd probably do this.

Great I’ll check them out!

This is really helpful thanks.

Do you actively monitor how much customers owe you or even cap the size of their bill before they need to pay you?

This would be in case they have a significant amount of usage in a period.

The problem most teams have with pricing is they think it’s a sales problem.

It’s not.

It’s a cross-functional problem that mostly has to do with product (how it’s bundled, which features are on which tiers, and how customers move between tiers) and customer segmentation (how different customers value the features).

A rogue marketer at a former company spent weeks with Zapier "trying to improve analytics". They went way too far to the point of saying, "I almost re-built Segment with Zapier".

Needless to say the Rube Goldberg machine of Zaps was impossible to debug and all the data and metrics ended up being wrong for the whole quarter.

We ripped it all out and had to start fresh.

This is really well laid out and digestible.

FWIW this is what growth teams think about all day when putting cash to work to grow the business.

Revenue = new revenue + expansion - contraction - churn

That interesting.

Could have a federated LLM approach with different orgs owning different LLM specialties.

Commercial arrangement could look like telco’s roaming agreements.
