I'm having trouble with something and wonder if this resonates with anyone else… A big part of applying ICM is identifying processes/workflows that can be automated somehow, right? You need to make work visible to transform it. I believe that, I tell people that. But I struggle to apply that to my own work and I'm wondering if it's because my work is largely emergent or if I'm full of shit. I don't really have repeatable tasks. I design AI coaching systems, learning tools, games, decision-support bots—different domains, different outputs each time. I have a method… but not a process I feel like I can document in a useful way. I rely on judgment and taste that's informed by years of experience more than articulated principles and criteria I could bake into an ICM workspace. So when I hear "productionize your opinion" - I struggle to act on that. I feel like my effectiveness comes from adaptive pattern-matching in real-time. That makes it hard to define and repeat. Maybe I’m being lazy though. You can't script jazz. But you can teach someone how to listen for the chord changes. Turns out I'm not full of shit, the work IS harder to document. But that doesn't mean I get a pass. Still figuring out what 'teaching the chord changes' looks like for my work. Anyone else struggling with this? How are you making emergent, judgment-heavy work visible enough to transform?

I’m running into a massive bottleneck with corporate clients right now. Because they’re handling market-sensitive data, their IT compliance teams have them completely locked down into Microsoft. No external APIs, no Claude—nothing. Ideal world would be building solutions in CC. I’m convinced the only real solution here is building custom tools and agents natively inside their system (Azure OpenAI, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, etc.) rather than trying to pitch external pipelines they'll just reject anyway. Has anyone actually built robust, advanced agent workflows strictly inside an MS-only corporate environment? Curious to know how you handled the architectural constraints, and if it's worth the headache of building inside their sandbox. Let me know what you've found works.
