Why it matters

When a company is about to spend $100 million, Shawn Chan is the person in the room deciding whether it happens, and after fifteen years and roughly 200 investment committees he can spot the flaw fast. Now some of the decks in front of him are AI generated: cleaner formatting, never defensive, and confidently wrong.

My takeaway: Build for the Memo, Not the Demo — Shawn Chan, China Resources Holdings is an AI-engineering signal. The practical read is to connect the implementation pattern to reliability, data boundaries, observability, and the controls needed when AI leaves prototypes.
