Standing on the shoulders of giant’s robots

Active

Midwest Owner Operator Collective: AI-assisted back office support for tradesmen. Proposals, CRM, sales funnels, logistics, and accounting. Origin story: a $500 water heater part, a “free” sales call, and an $11,000 quote.
Burned Value: BurnedValue started as the lovechild of Earned Value Management and Agile Burndown metrics. It has grown to become a complete project portfolio planning and execution and oversight applicaton.

Backlog

Go/No-Go: A business capture management application. P(win), market fit, competitive intelligence, win strategy, subcontractor coordination, and RFP compliance tracking — because the most expensive proposal is the one you were never going to win.
CMMI 1.3-AI: A theory under investigation: each CMMI process area is essentially a specialized agent — defined inputs, defined outputs, measurable goals. If that’s true, a fully orchestrated CMMI compliance suite might be buildable with Claude Code, Cowork, and Managed Agents.
