Tools decide nothing. Architecture decides.
Articles on platforms, interfaces and models, read from the vantage point that counts in the boardroom.
Every tool decision is an architecture decision with a long tail. A connector, a model, an orchestration layer: what starts as a pilot today sits in operations, in the budget and in the audit trail two years from now. The articles in this topic explain how RAG, the Model Context Protocol, LLM orchestration and the wiring into ERP and CRM actually work, and where the running costs appear that no vendor quote mentions.
SIMO does not pick tools. We settle the questions that come first: which business question the tool is meant to answer, who owns the resulting figure, and which system disappears in exchange. A company that adds a tool every year and retires none is buying complexity on installments. Fewer systems, not more: less a cost measure than the precondition for decisions that can still be traced.
Taking tools seriously means planning the shutdown as well.
