Control, Isolation & Fit

At the top of the climb, the questions are about fit, control, and where things run. This series makes the case that smaller, focused models often beat bigger ones, why owning and isolating your models is a design decision rather than a slogan, where your data lives, and how an environment of assistants and services can compound over time. The framing is "control & isolation," not "sovereignty."
