PEFT

The Mad Scientist

It works. Nobody knows how.

Someone has wired AI into real systems themselves, fast, with no-code tools and late nights. Things now run that didn't before. Nobody else understands them, and nothing is watching them.

Superpower

You've proved the work can run by itself, in your own business.

Blind spot

It's running on one person's login, with an off switch nobody else can find.

Next move

Write down what's running, give it its own login, and make sure someone else can switch it off.

The four letters

  • P People-led (who started it)
    AI arrived through curious people, before the business said anything.
  • E Engine (where ai sits)
    AI sits inside the work. Some of it runs without anyone asking.
  • F Fast (how fast it moves)
    Try it now, fix it later.
  • T Trust (how it's checked)
    People are trusted to use it sensibly. Light rules, few checks.
