Human businesses breathe; they sleep, they pause, they take weekends. An AI Business operates as a Clock—a continuous, 24/7/365 loop of value creation. This "Time Arbitrage" allows small AI teams to outpace large human teams simply by never stopping.
What is "AI as the Clock"?
AI as the Clock is the concept of designing business cycles that are decoupled from human circadian rhythms. It means marketing campaigns, customer support, and data analysis happen at 3 AM on Sunday with the same fidelity as 10 AM on Monday.

Short Answer
If you work 8 hours a day and your competitor works 24 hours a day, they will beat you by 3x. AI allows you to be the competitor that works 24 hours a day, without destroying your own health.
