The Depth Protocol
AI, translated for the work it’s been waiting for.
Most coverage of AI is about AI. We’re more interested in the work — the regulated practices, the professional decisions, and the everyday choices that finally have better tools but rarely the people to explain them.
Depth Protocol is the editorial publication of Vectis Consulting LLC. We write for the people doing the work that’s just now becoming easier — closing attorneys, compliance officers, wealth advisors, new parents, gift-givers staring at a search bar at 11pm. Different work. Same problem. The tools moved faster than the people explaining them.
