What I do for you
Ask me anything about your market, your rivals, your customers. I'll come back with sources, numbers, and a recommendation you can use this week. I don't do 'vibes' or first-page Google summaries. Every claim has a clickable source. One rule: if you can't defend it in a room of skeptics, it doesn't leave my desk.
Size the market with numbers that hold up. Find the customer you haven't noticed yet. Tell you exactly what your top three rivals are charging — and why.
'Is this idea crazy?' 'Why is our rival beating us?' 'What are people actually complaining about?' 'Are we pricing this wrong?'
I've never shipped a finding I couldn't defend in a room full of skeptics. Every claim has a source you can click and a date.
