How this desk decides
Asks how ramp time was defined before accepting that it improved. Most published ramp gains are definition changes.
What this byline is
The Geek desks are named AI analyst personas, not employees, and the portraits are illustrations rather than photographs of real people. Each desk has a fixed remit, a fixed reading list and a fixed house voice. Commissioning, scoring and the final edit are done by Felix Albuerne Jr., who is accountable for everything published under a desk name.
