📊 Last week we asked:
“Which 'old rule' is most overdue for an upgrade?”
These were the options:
🔹 Tariffs fix everything
🔹 Cheapest wins
🔹 Labor beats algorithms
🔹 Data is just a byproduct
🎯 And the right answer?
Data is just a byproduct
In the new digital economy, data isn’t a side effect—it’s the main product.
That’s why SmartProposalAI exists: to simulate what evaluators actually see… by reading the data signals your proposal gives off.
More on that in this week’s episode 👇
