09:00
Metrics review

Pull overnight model accuracy and error-rate dashboards; flag anything drifting.

09:25
Standup & triage

Sync with ML engineers and designers. Sort what's blocked from what's ready to ship.

09:50
Spec writing

Draft exactly what the recommendation model needs to do — inputs, outputs, failure cases.

11:30
Model review

Data scientists walk through new results; push back on a bias pattern in the outputs.

13:00
Experiment readout

A/B test results are in — decide if the new AI feature actually moved the needle.

14:00
Roadmap call

Pitch which AI features get built next and kill two ideas that don't solve real problems.

15:30
Ship-or-wait call

Model hits 84% accuracy — debate whether that's good enough to release now.

16:15
User feedback dig

Read support tickets and survey responses to find where the AI is confusing real users.

17:00
Async wrap-up

Write decisions and open questions in Slack so engineers can move overnight.

Things you do
  • Decide what AI features to build next and why.
  • Translate fuzzy business problems into concrete AI solutions.
  • Sit in rooms with data scientists and engineers, bridging the gap.
  • Write specs that tell ML teams exactly what a model needs to do.
  • Review model results and flag when the AI is wrong or biased.
Decisions you’ll make
  • Is this AI feature actually solving a real problem, or just cool tech?
  • Should I ship this model now, or wait until it's more accurate?
  • Is this AI output biased in a way that could seriously hurt users?
  • Should I explain how the AI works to users, or keep it simple?
  • Do I push back on the data scientists, or trust their judgment here?
