Enterprise Moats Lie in Workflows and Data

The post cites Arav Srinivas's perspective: "Using intelligence creates intelligence." The prompts, corrections, upgrades, and workflow data generated during these processes will ultimately form a new moat.
The author further emphasizes that models themselves will increasingly resemble infrastructure—becoming cheaper, faster, and more commoditized. What truly resists commoditization is an enterprise's proprietary context: data, process knowledge, feedback loops, and actual user behavior within workflows.
They summarize this with the phrase: "Rent the model, secure the playbook." An enterprise's strategic focus shouldn't just be on choosing a model, but on who ultimately owns the knowledge and control generated by these intelligent interactions.
