📝 Blog Draft — The Constellation
Hook: Enterprise AI tool adoption follows a predictable pattern: grassroots use, productivity dependency, then sudden revocation by security review, and nobody has a fallback plan.
Angle: When organizations adopt AI tooling bottom-up (engineers using Claude, Copilot, or local models before formal approval), the real integration risk is not the tool itself. It is the workflow dependency that forms before governance catches up. When security inevitably reviews and blocks the tool, teams lose productivity they have already baked into their estimates and commitments. The constellation now includes AI tooling, and it has the same 'shadow IT' integration risk that every other ungoverned system in the stack carries.
Source material: bai/transcripts/plaud-2026-04-09 (pre-sales AI automation, tooling approval, security guardrails, Otter flagged, Claude under review, MDM shutdowns), bai/transcripts/plaud-2026-04-29 (legacy Salesforce decommission, AI governance, Copilot adoption, Zscaler/SSL issues, Claude approval status), bai/transcripts/plaud-2026-04-01 (supply chain security, npm attack, Claude/PowerPoint integration pending), bai/transcripts/plaud-2026-04-28 (AI tooling strategy, agent workflows, cost optimization, token-based pricing risks), bai/transcripts/plaud-2026-04-30 (peer tech catch-up, vibe coding, local models)
