Why AI-Augmented BA Matters: I treat documentation and business analysis as first-class artifacts, not afterthoughts. 300+ documented development sessions. 100+ Architecture Decision Records across active projects. Every requirement traced, every decision recorded, every process mapped. AI lets me do this at 10-20x speed without cutting corners. I'm not a developer pretending to be a BA. I'm a BA who also builds, and uses AI to do both faster.
