Operating Rules
  1. Customer #1 is the only metric. If an idea doesn't move us closer to it, park it.
  2. No strategy theater before results. Ship first, split hairs later.
  3. Keep the SCU paycheque. Until $5k MRR hits, don't touch the day job.
  4. Willy = front line. Jimi = engine room. Split the work, play to strengths.
  5. Every "no" is market research. Log the reason. The reasons are a goldmine.
  6. Don't chase. After 2 attempts, move on. There are 99 others.
