Three ways in, all narrow
The letter carries no display advertising and no paid placements. What it does carry is other people's operating experience.
01 · Interview
Publish what you rebuilt
A 60-minute conversation, edited into an article under your name. Best when you have rebuilt something and can describe how: an operating model, a hiring function set up from scratch, an internal mobility programme, an AI pilot that did or did not pay off. Also welcome: you ran two models and can say which one you would choose again.

- 03You approve every figure before it publishes
02 · Data
Bring a dataset
If you hold benchmark data on cost, capacity, salaries or location economics and are willing to have it examined properly, there is a letter in it. Attribution in full, methodology published, conclusions mine.
- 01Raw or aggregated, both work
- 02Method and n published with the piece
- 03No review rights over the analysis
03 · Write it yourself
Submit a draft, get an editorial read
If you would rather write than be interviewed, send the piece. Every submission goes through the same editorial check as my own letters. Not a taste test, a content standard. Most drafts come back once with questions before they run.
What the editorial check asks
01Did you run this, or did you read about it?
02If there is a number in it, can it be sourced?
03Does a reader get something to reuse on Monday?
04Would it read the same without your employer's name?
051,200–2,000 words, no jargon, no vendor pitch.
