Decisions
A lightweight log of significant decisions — tech stack choices, investment stances, business direction, and operational calls. Reference for context and consistency.
All decisions
Astro for burnsideco.com dashboard
Dashboard was static HTML. Needed a structured, maintainable rebuild with data-driven content for stocks, subscriptions, and learning paths.
Use Astro with static output. No framework adapters. Data files in TypeScript. No remote fonts or CDNs.
Clean build with 12+ routes. All pages generated at build time.
Copilot Studio learning vehicle: Morning Agent
Needed a real project to build Copilot Studio skills against, not tutorials. Goal: portfolio piece + interview-ready demo.
Build a personal version of an executive intelligence agent — stock prices, news briefs, thesis recall, portfolio summary — delivered into Teams.
Defined 6-phase learning plan. PL-900 cert in Phase 5.
Tideform positioning
AI reshaping BA and business analyst roles. Need a differentiated offering before the market commoditises basic prompt consulting.
Position Tideform around AI system integration for SMBs — not generic prompt work. Copilot Studio + OpenClaw + agentic workflows.
McIntosh as first client case study in progress.
IREN position sizing post-Microsoft contract
Microsoft $9.7B / 200MW GB300 contract confirmed. IREN pivot from BTC mining to AI cloud is now the primary thesis driver.
Accumulate selectively below $55. Treat like early RKLB-style long hold. Track Horizon deployments as proof points.
StockWaves subscription review
StockWaves (EWI) is $79/month. Usage has been irregular. Value is highest when actively trading around wave structures.
Keep on review. Cancel or pause if usage drops below one active trade thesis per month.
To add a decision, update src/data/decisions.ts and rebuild. Keep entries factual: context, the decision made, and outcomes as they develop.
