About Scale100

About Scale100

I've spent 30+ years covering enterprise technology. The story hasn't changed much: vendors oversell, implementations overrun, and CIOs are left holding the bag.

What has changed is the stakes. Agentic AI is a real inflection point because the cost arbitrage is real. A task that costs $4–6 to resolve offshore costs less than $0.10 in AI compute. That maths is going to restructure enterprise IT.

Scale100 exists to help CIOs navigate that through independent research.

‍

What we cover

The editorial focus is narrow by design. The central question is one that every enterprise CIO is wrestling with right now: where do you actually place your AI bets?

ERP vendors are rolling out agentic AI inside their own platforms. Others argue the smarter move is a modular architecture with an independent automation layer sitting above the existing stack.

Scale100 evaluates the arguments and the technology on both sides, through on-the-record conversations with the people making these decisions. The goal is to give CIOs the evidence and the frameworks to make the right call for their context.

‍

How we cover it

Scale100 publishes long-form video interviews with CIOs, CTOs, and senior technology leaders. Each interview is an on-the-record conversation with someone who has actually done the work.

Independent research tied to each interview is available for practitioners who want the analysis without watching the full video.

‍

The model

The journalism is the product. Vendors can license published content for their own use.

Scale100 takes no money for editorial positions. Research conclusions aren't for sale and don't change based on who's paying for distribution rights.

Get in touch

If you're a CIO thinking through the build-vs-buy question on agentic AI, a technology leader who wants to be interviewed, or a vendor looking for honest coverage rather than a press release rewrite – I'd like to hear from you.
