Fast teams measure it by hypotheses validated. One counts outputs. The other measures learning rate. The Learning Rate Problem Shipping is easy. Learning is hard.

AI is changing what it means to build, not by replacing PMs but by removing the constraints around what they can try. When the cost of testing an idea approaches zero, the right move is not to plan more. It is to prototype more. Today, you can build five versions of a concept before lunch. You can wire up a...
