Method · MoneyThe fourth step of The Algorithm is accelerate: how do you pull up timelines? Finish every meeting with 'who, what, when' — who is going to do what by when. When someone gives you a 'by when' date, ask how much actual time the task will take (time on task). If someone estimates a task will take four hours, ask: what are you doing in the next four hours that is more important than this? Often the answer is nothing — in which case the task should be done in a day. After someone tells you when they'll deliver, ask why can't you do it earlier. If they say they have other work you assigned, acknowledge it and sequence the new task after it.

Method · MoneyThe second step of The Algorithm is to delete — delete so much that you have to add stuff back. This is a great litmus test because everyone is afraid of deletion and messing something up. In a process, especially when building something, deletion is very unlikely to be an irreversible door — you can always add steps back.

Method · MoneyThe fifth step of The Algorithm is automate: how do we get the machines to do it? Because AI access is so prevalent, everyone tries to automate first — automating things that should not be done to begin with. The only thing more efficient than automation is elimination — choosing not to do something is more efficient than automating it, because it wasn't worth doing to begin with. Only bring up automation last — after questioning requirements, deleting stupid requirements, simplifying/optimizing, and speeding up cycles — because then you're automating something already maximized for effectiveness.

Method · MoneyWhen you have thousands of files and only need relevant ones with no sensitivity, filter by relevance and sensitivity before starting work. Filter files by freshness (only files within X days or a date range), specify the metadata you absolutely must have and let the system determine which files qualify (e.g., 339 files narrows to 200), then create a data slice from the filtered files to feed into your AI application.

AI Engineer · From Raw Documents to AI-Ready Data — Leo Platzer & Jeff Koss
Method · MoneyWhen evaluating document data quality, check for duplicate information and conflicting information in addition to traditional dimensions, and check the freshness of the data. Use a quality dashboard to review groupings of duplication and conflicting information across documents, and leverage AI to auto-suggest which document is the key when duplicates or conflicts exist. View ingested data at both the page/chunk level and the file level to understand your corpus.

Method · MoneyScan documents for sensitivity (PII, PHI, or any sensitive data type) before feeding them to a chatbot. Use both AI-based and pattern-based (regex with context) detection to reduce false positives. When you don't speak the language of documents you're scanning — e.g., identifying a Finnish national ID — AI-based pattern detection with context can still identify the sensitive data type.

Method · MoneyA coherent short-form structure: open with an authoritative statement hook, follow with a super hook for authenticity, then go straight into the value ('bang, exercise one' / 'here's what you do') with no filler preamble, and end with one summarizing thing for closure. Speed to value matters — stalling with filler is where people fall apart.

Garage Strength · The New Rules of Social Media Fitness (2027) w/ Eugene Teo
Method · MoneyEugene Teo says there are a few different flows for scripting stories and there's no right or wrong. The key landmarks he focuses on are a hook of some sort, then the 'super hook,' which layers on top of the hook and builds more credibility, authenticity, and want in the viewer. The hook, super hook, and transition to value should all happen in the first five seconds. If you take too long to get to the thing without building the right anticipation, people won't stick around.

Garage Strength · The New Rules of Social Media Fitness (2027) w/ Eugene Teo
Method · MoneyUse a storytelling structure: hook, then super hook, then transition to speed to value — all within the first five seconds. If you take too long to get to the value without building the right anticipation, people won't stick around. End content with a strong call to action or takeaway, then hard cut and make it as clean as possible. Just saying 'here's 10 cool upper body exercises' as a hook falls flat. Instead use curiosity hooks that are a little bit ambiguous or unusual, visual hooks like a strange exercise or an impressive feat (e.g., an athlete doing a 45-inch vertical), or a statement hook that is ambiguous or interesting in some way.

Method · MoneyThe team designed their generation algorithm around the difficulty of changing optical weights by dividing 1,000 diffusion steps into 100 subunits of 100 steps each and keeping parameters fixed within each subunit. With 10 optical devices, one device can be used 400 times, then pass the activation to the next device and use it 400 times, allowing the full denoising procedure without changing any weights on the physical hardware.

Ahrefs · Learn 80% of AEO in 19 Minutes
Method · MoneyHormozi lays out a method: if you don't know who your buyers are, look at your customer base. Look at the people who spent the most money — the top 20% — and the common factors they have. Look at what messages and problems they had, then create messaging and video topics based on the problems of the people with the most money in your audience, and make content about that. Put UTMs on the links below the descriptions in your videos to track revenue attribution, and make CTAs inside the videos to take the next step, such as a lead magnet. That is how you can see on the back end how content translated into revenue for the business.

Alex Hormozi · How to become rich with social media (my exact playbook)
Method · SocialThe narrator lays out a coherent method for telling a story: open with a hook line that grabs the group's attention before any scene-setting, follow it with substantive storytelling that delivers on the hook's promise, set the scene with enough detail for the audience to imagine it in their mind's eye (even though it's the least interesting part), set up the story in under 30 seconds, include only details that will pay off later, and end with a bang — usually a laugh or a lesson.

Method · MoneyCoinbase's approach: each team and repository has a 'brain' implemented as markdown files that team members can review at any time. Every time an agent comes in to make a change to a service, it ingests the brain for that team and repo. When a human reviewer fixes something an agent missed, that context must go back into the brain so it is fixed in all future cases — the simple manual-edit-and-ship response is the wrong move. This causes the accept rate for one-shotted PRs to tick up over time, creating a recursive self-improvement system.

Method · MoneyJim Clark walks through deciding what capabilities a task sandbox needs: which harness to use (OpenCode, Claude, Gemini, Codex), what MCPs are allowed to be used in the sandbox, what networking rules to apply (e.g., whether it needs access to api.github.com, whether it needs to surf the web in random ways or just needs nothing), and what resources and work trees it needs. Model capabilities and build the right sandbox for the task, then put the task in. Treat orchestrators as having a job of asking what the task is and what sandbox to put it in.

Method · MoneyWhen the judge disagrees with your labels, read its explanation and decide whether the judge was right or you were right — ask 'Is my rubric wrong or were my human labels wrong?' Tighten rubric criteria (e.g., instead of 'includes forward-looking analysis', write 'includes forward-looking analysis with specific recommendations or guidance'), then rerun the judge on the same examples and see if the disagreement goes away — this is rubric iteration.

Method · MoneyMeasure the judge's performance by comparing its predictions against ground truth — a human's judgment. Use AX annotations to attach human labels to spans right in the UI (set spans actionable or not actionable via the 'human actionable' annotation config), then compare what you said was actionable to what the judge says. Labeling is extremely time consuming, so do it ahead of time; it's work a non-technical staff member can do using their domain expertise.
