Peter Prosol posted this'Amazon is looking to minimize "tokenmaxxing." The company is shutting down an employee-made leaderboard that tracked AI token use because it encouraged some staff to perform tasks that didn't necessarily solve problems, just so they could climb the ranks. "Please don't use AI just for the sake of using AI," Dave Treadwell, an Amazon senior vice president, told staff earlier this week. "Use AI to help you solve customer problems, to help you solve business problems, to innovate."' - From Business Insider It's an amazing combination of three forces: - First if you reward people for dumb raw effort they'll give you lots of activity and a big pile of nothing. - Second just because a tool lets you do something faster or better or more has no bearing on whether any of that gets you from A to B, it's worth working on at all, or it's properly channeled into results by clear thinking. - Third, the human mind evolved in an environment where calories are scarce so it tries to conserve and thinking is calorie expensive. So given the choice of working on a hard core boring problem that the business actually needs solved and chasing colorful new butterflies in green fields the butterflies usually win. Almost every day I have some nice satisfying aha moment where AI let me or my team do something we couldn't do before, or not as fast or well or cost effectively. But it does feel like you're driving on the edge of the cliff where the possibility of doing more and different things endlessly can overwhelm any sense of focus, strategy, or priorities.

Peter Prosol shared this🚨 The deductible was supposed to control costs. Instead it's training your employees to skip care — and you're paying for it later in the ER. PayMedix just got independently validated proof that fixing affordability actually bends the cost curve. We're proud to recognize PayMedix for achieving Savings Validation from Validation Institute — an independent, rigorous confirmation that their healthcare payments model delivers measurable cost reduction for self-funded employers. 📌 What this means for you: When employees can't afford to use their benefits early in the plan year, they delay care. That delay turns into an ER visit, a hospitalization, a claim that dwarfs what a doctor's visit would have cost. PayMedix eliminates that dynamic — paying providers in full, consolidating billing, and offering uncapped interest-free financing for all in-network costs. The result is independently verified: employer medical trend of 3.2% vs. the Milliman benchmark of 8.8% at one year, and 3.7% vs. 5.6% at two years. With over $7 billion in payments processed, this isn't a pilot program. It's a proven model. 🔍 Read the full Validation Report: https://lnkd.in/ep8X63uc 💡 Industry-Leading Credibility Guarantee: Validation Institute is backing this validation with a $100,000 ERISA Immunity Guarantee as part of our Credibility Guarantee Program.

Peter Prosol posted thisI’ve talked to about a hundred people this month about how they use AI. One thing jumps out above everything else. The biggest divide isn’t how many questions you ask the LLM. It’s how you architect the context. You can ask it cold to draft an email. Or you can use something like Claude’s Projects with a folder that provides real context — and critically, feed the results back in as summary documents. Now you’re not just prompting. You’re building a knowledge base that compounds. But there’s another level to this game. The LLM knows nothing about you — your goals, your skills, your situation. You carry all of that context around and never think to share it. So have it interview you. Do exercises like the perfect day or write-your-own-obituary. Save the output as a summary document and carry it into future prompts. Refine it over time. Eventually you get to the point where it knows you and the project you’re focused on as well as someone who’s worked alongside you for years. That’s when things get interesting.

Peter Prosol posted thisI'm setting up Claude with my entire team at work. Here's what I'm learning so far: 1) we could all use some practice with prompting and creative use cases (e.g., play the role of a potential customer in evaluating an offer), 2) connectors are 🔥, save so much time and add so much context easily, 3) the more the project folder contains relevant materials the better the output.

Peter Prosol reposted thisPeter Prosol reposted this“We don’t pay our broker. The carrier does.” That sentence has cost some employers more than any fee ever would. A regional employer I met had a long‑time broker relationship: No explicit fees Annual renewal lunch Occasional wellness webinar Every year: A spreadsheet of renewal options that looked suspiciously similar A story about “medical inflation” Maybe a narrow network or wellness program thrown in as a “strategy” Then a new CFO asked: “Show me all the ways this broker gets paid.” When they dug into it, they found: Standard commissions buried in premiums Year‑end bonuses for hitting premium volume targets Extra dollars for placing business with specific carriers The broker was not just an advisor. They were a distribution channel with incentives that pulled against the employer’s goals. At the household level, it looked like: Employees absorbing higher premiums and deductibles each year Families changing doctors because of carrier swaps Confusion and frustration every open enrollment On the employer’s P&L, it looked like: Six‑figure overpayment versus what they could have achieved with an aligned, transparent model No real alternative strategies being brought to the table (self‑funding, DPC, transparent PBMs, etc.) When they switched to a broker who: Put all compensation in writing Carved out carrier bonuses and overrides Tied part of their pay to actual cost and quality outcomes …they didn’t just cut fees. They unlocked strategies their old broker never had a financial reason to recommend. The broker was never truly “free.” The bill just showed up in employee paychecks, skipped appointments, and your renewal line.

Peter Prosol posted thisSo you're a CEO or CFO. Someone mentions lowering healthcare costs. Your response: eye-roll or blank stare, right? Plus you checked around with some other brokers and know you're getting an ok deal. Well it's not ok, it's always a terrible deal, but no MORE terrible at least. You've done your job as a fiduciary. Someone at the company got everyone a fair price in a competitive market, yes? I've got to break this down for an audience in a couple of months and have been hitting the books. One interesting anecdote to consider about how competitive some markets truly are: "For decades, NASDAQ market makers were supposed to be competing with each other to offer the best prices to buyers and sellers. Competition should have meant tight spreads — the gap between what you could buy and sell a stock for. But spreads on NASDAQ were mysteriously, persistently wider than they should have been. Investors were quietly losing billions in the gap and had no way to know it. In 1994, two finance professors — William Christie and Paul Schultz — noticed something bizarre in the data. On most stocks, quotes almost never landed on odd eighths. Prices would jump from 20 to 20¼ to 20½ — skipping 20⅛ and 20⅜. In a genuinely competitive market, that pattern is statistically near-impossible. It was like flipping a coin a million times and never landing on heads. What they'd stumbled into was an unwritten code. Market makers had an implicit agreement: don't quote in odd eighths. By skipping those increments, the minimum spread stayed at 25 cents instead of 12.5 cents — on every single trade, across millions of trades a day. No contract. No memo. No secret meeting in a parking garage. Just a norm, enforced socially. Any market maker who broke ranks and quoted an odd eighth would get frozen out — other firms would stop returning their calls, stop trading with them. The punishment was swift and informal."

Peter Prosol posted thisIf you’re dissatisfied with your outsourced dev team you can now save that entire budget. Or direct it at something much better that adds real value faster. If you’re interested I can send you the playbook I’m using to developer faster and cheaper with fewer but better engineers.

For like 2 minutes I thought man, maybe this time they will in fact automate everything. So I spun up a little side project. Then I spun up 36 other projects. And now here I am a week and a half later debugging one part of one project for the last 3 hours. It's hard to explain to those not working hands on in software. It both is massively and incredibly faster and you don't end up writing almost any code by hand most days. And yet I still spend hours a day on the same kind of stuff I did when I was coding which is not even my job anymore. I don't get it. It might be that every time the model jumps we have like 2-3 weeks before everyone gets used to basic landing pages and parts of apps going much quicker and then they all just shift the project that many units further to reach the same equilibrium. Sort of a hedonic treadmill for coding.

Peter Prosol liked thisPeter Prosol liked this📣 Your employees are drowning in caregiving responsibilities. Most of them won't tell you. And by the time you notice, it's already showing up in your productivity data. We're proud to recognize Cleo for achieving Metrics Validation, an independent confirmation that their Parenting and Caregiving platform is measuring what actually matters, and moving the needle on it. 📌 What this means for you: Cleo built something rare: a tool that connects family stress directly to workforce performance. Their Family Health Index tracks emotional wellness, burnout risk, and caregiving burden — and the data across 8,882 members shows it works. Higher scores, fewer lost work hours. Among high-risk members who engaged, 69% improved within 6 months. For maternity members, estimated savings averaged $5,079 per member. Reviewed by independent epidemiologists and statisticians. Not a vendor deck or a pilot study, but a real analysis. We are backing this conclusion with a $100,000 guarantee as part of our Credibility Guarantee Program. Congratulations to the Cleo team and Madhavi Vemireddy, MD for building something that actually holds up. 👏 Read their full Validation report on the first comment.
