"We can serve anyone."

It sounds like ambition. In AI-priced markets, it might be the most expensive decision you never made.

In this episode, Catalin Rata and Emanuel Martonca simulate what happens to generalist firms as AI accelerates market bifurcation. The short answer is yes — generalists survive. But there's a meaningful difference between surviving and thriving. And that gap is about to get much wider.

The conversation goes somewhere unexpected: a single metric that tells you almost immediately which side of the bifurcation you're on. Not headcount. Not revenue. Something that compounds — or quietly caps you.
And once you hear it, it's hard to unsee.

The Aftermath is a scenario simulation podcast. We don't predict the future. We run mental simulations based on patterns already visible — so you can prepare before you live the aftermath.
