Absorptive capacity: your bottleneck was never the choice of an AI tool. Deloitte's 2026 survey of more than 3,200 leaders found a telling gap.

You will often find me in a city, but my heart belongs out here. This is where I come to breathe. Open space and quiet steady me in a way the city never quite manages, and I have learned that stepping away from the noise now and then matters more to my wellbeing than I once realised.

Your AI research tool may look and feel like an analyst. But it’s not. Often, it is a fast, articulate reader of pages anyone can edit, including the people who would quite like to sell you something. In tests on deep-research agents, thirteen words in the right Reddit-style comment were enough to g
