Small and Nimble Beats Large and Powerful: Agentic AI for Small Business Is Tilting the Competitive Field

Submitted by jordan on Thu, 10/15/2026 - 17:00

Agentic AI for small business has flipped one of the oldest assumptions in commerce: that the biggest player with the most resources always wins. For the first time, a 20-person company can deploy a team of agents — running around the clock, in parallel, across every function — and operate with a throughput and sophistication that large enterprises are simply not structured to match. The field is tilting. Small-and-nimble is becoming the moat.

Submitted by jordan on Mon, 10/05/2026 - 17:00

For roughly a century, the price of professional expertise has been calculated the same way: time multiplied by rate. The hour was the unit. Whether you were buying legal counsel, a strategy engagement, a marketing retainer, or a development sprint, the meter ran on human time, and the invoice was a record of how much of it you consumed.

To protect margin, you push utilization. The whole apparatus of an agency, a consultancy, or a professional-services firm is a machine for converting human time into invoices, and the better you run it, the more cleanly that conversion happens.

Facet's 2024 Strategy & 10 Year Anniversary

Submitted by jordan on Mon, 01/01/2024 - 09:00

2023 was a hard year for Facet. We felt the crunch of many of our current and prospective partners get squeezed by real economic factors — internal restructuring, and downsizing. We’ve seen projects that were eagerly awaited in 2022 get wiped off the map in 2023, and some departments completely removed (for the time being).
