RECEIPTS

Stuck, then shipped.

Real builds — where the founder was stuck, what we shipped, and what it did. The ones under NDA lose their names; the facts don't change.

ENTERPRISE SAAS · BUILD PARTNER● LIVE
$3MFIRST-YEAR REVENUE
STUCKA 20-year enterprise operator with a rare skillset and no way to turn a career's worth of judgement into software.
SHIPPEDThe whole product from zero — team, multiple enterprise sales, compliance track — simple enough to be mandated across an organisation.
RESULTOver $3M in year one, built for roughly $150k — against the $2–3M, three-to-four-year quote it replaced.
VETERINARY SAAS · RESCUE● LIVE
27MAJOR CHANGES, SHIPPED OVERNIGHT
STUCKA mobile vet nailed the product thinking, then watched two builders burn two years and ~$30k — stalled at 80%.
SHIPPEDWe kept her design thinking and rebuilt from the ground up — live and solid in weeks, for a fraction of the spend.
RESULTA change that used to take a month now ships overnight — 27 major changes actioned, tested and released in one night.
EDUCATION ANALYTICS · THE 99% TRAP
2 days vs the 2-year version.

An ex-COO, off a university venture that failed chasing 99% custom accuracy for two years. We ran the opposite discipline: the 95% that ships in days, not the 99% that never arrives. A data-science trap, called out by a data scientist.

SPORTS AI · THE HONEST CALL — PAUSED ON PURPOSE
The deal we wanted, and said no to.

Genuinely clever tech — auto-analyse a swimmer's stroke from video. But the make-or-break happens exactly where footage and models fail worst. So we paused it, and said so. We'll tell you when something isn't ready before we'll take your money to fake it.
