DIAGNOSE
You think you have a problem worth solving? Prove it.
DISCOVER
Talk to real customers. Not your co-founder.
DEFINE
Strip it down. Build less. Way less.
VALIDATE
Does anyone actually want to pay for this?
IGNITE
Light the fire. One channel. One target market.
DEPLOY
Systems, not heroics. Make it repeatable.
DOMINATE
Scale smart — only when the numbers say so.
Problem
Independent grocers lose ~4% of revenue to stock errors they only catch at month-end, after the margin is already gone.
Who has the problem
Owner-operators of 1–5 store independent grocery chains
Why now
Cheap edge cameras + on-device vision finally make continuous shelf counting affordable for a single store.
Value proposition
Continuous, automatic shelf counts so an owner sees shrink and stockouts the day they happen, not at month-end.
Revenue model
$199 / store / month subscription, annual billing.
