- 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

- Musical Mastery: Atomic Habits builds the discipline, AI accelerates the learning.
