Dispatch 01 in edit, September 2026

What this is

Dispatches

Occasional long-form interviews with operators, analysts and builders who are already dealing with machine customers. Occasional means when there is someone worth an hour, not weekly.

First dispatch

Landscapes

Evidence boards. Every entry names its source and states how well it has been verified. The first maps financial services products built for AI agents as the customer.

Financial services for AI agents

Briefings

A closed annual programme for organisations: a quarterly briefing written for your market and a live session with your leadership team each quarter. Six organisations, no more.

On the record with Katja Forbes

Each dispatch is a recorded conversation, edited to what matters, published with a written note on what was said, what was claimed, and what could be checked.

Audio on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The written record on Substack. Both linked here when live.

A private briefing service

For organisations

Quarterly briefing

One document a quarter, written for your sector and your decisions, not a generic trends report. What changed, what it means for your margin and your customer access, what to do before the next quarter.

Quarterly session

A live working session with your executive team on the briefing. Questions, disagreement, decisions.

Six seats

Capped at six organisations a year so the work stays specific. Annual programme, invoiced annually in advance.
