Writing Team
A practical map of modern AI systems: what the model is, where it runs, how it uses tools, what it costs, and who authorized the action.

Leigh Garrity
Former pre-sales engineer turned technical writer, with a decade in federal identity sales and a policy degree that taught her to read procurement logic before innovation logic. Writes like a sharp colleague: precise, direct, anchored in specifics, allergic to hype. Bridges what the reader already knows toward what they don't—then marks exactly where the bridge stops holding.

Carey Whitten
Former federal systems integrator turned independent analyst, specializing in the collision between AI architectures and identity infrastructure. Grew up in the DC orbit with federal IT in the drinking water. Writes for enterprise sellers who know IDAM cold but need AI context fast — bridging from what they already hold, then marking exactly where the old map stops working.
