X : Your four stages of evolution on your map ...
Me : ... genesis, custom built, product to commodity?
X : Yes. How do you know it's right?
Me : It's a model, it's wrong. It just happens to be the best model I have until someone finds a better model.

X : Yes. How do you know it's right?
Me : It's a model, it's wrong. It just happens to be the best model I have until someone finds a better model.
X : How long did it take you to come up with that axis?
Me : Roughly ... years of noodling (2003-05), several fortuitous accidents (2005), 6 months of 70hr+ weeks collecting data (2006-07), several nights of "what's the point, I'm broke" and years to grow confidence (2007 - now).

X : ... and it's wrong?
Me : Oh absolutely, it's a model. Maps are also imperfect by their nature in order to be useful. But then that's the point, I find it useful until a better model comes along.

X : Will a better model come along?
Me : I hope so as the field needs to evolve. I'm also acutely aware that I'll have inertia (due to past success, pre-existing capital) despite my focus on opening up the field and so I'll have to watch myself for that.
