The Blind Spot
A recurring line of inquiry about the assumptions, context gaps, and judgment failures that AI cannot reveal on its own, especially once work moves from demos into reality.
Behind the Veil
Where signal gets interpreted in public.
Behind the Veil is Sara Llanes’s public writing publication. A recurring theme is The Blind Spot: AI can compress design, build, and test cycles, but it cannot surface hidden assumptions, missing context, intelligence gaps, or judgment failures on its own.
It sits alongside the enterprise transformation work and The Lens as a third discipline: a space to interpret signal in public, name what the tools miss, and practice discernment when everything else is accelerating.
