Contrarian-Depth Essay — produce one Dwarkesh-Patel-style 2,500-5,000 word piece grounded in Product.ai proprietary data

Produce one contrarian-depth essay, 2,500-5,000 words, grounded in Product.ai proprietary commerce-AI data, ARC verification benchmarks, or internal usage data. The piece is opinionated, primary-source, and structurally Dwarkesh-Patel-shaped — one anchor artifact engineered for earned distribution rather than 100 derivatives competing for attention. Published under the candidate's byline as a guest piece on Product.ai's brand surface, or co-authored with Michael with explicit voice attribution split.
