About Midwatch Radar

News, numbers and plain explanations on AI, technology and the economy, for people who run small businesses.

Midwatch Radar is a news site for small-business owners who want to stay current on AI and technology without a technical background. It reports what happened, shows the numbers behind it, and explains how the pieces connect to a business with a few employees and a full calendar.

Anyone can read it. You do not need to run a home-service company, though many readers do, and a section of the site covers that work directly.

What you will find

  • News. Short, factual reports on AI and tools, the Main Street economy, policy that touches small business, and home services. Each one separates the facts from the analysis and lists its sources.
  • Explainers. Longer pieces that take one question, such as how fast to call back a new lead, and answer it with the best data available.
  • Takes. Signed opinion, kept apart from the news and labeled as opinion every time.

Who publishes it

Midwatch Radar is published by Midwatch, a consulting firm that helps small businesses with sales, operations and the systems behind them. Takes are written by Michael Adams, Managing Principal at Midwatch. News is produced by Midwatch Radar with AI assistance and checked against primary sources.

Because Midwatch sells services to small businesses, some stories touch on that work. When they do, the story says so. Read ownership and standards for the full picture.
