The program · Day 0 to Day 90

The work,
in full.

Everything the ninety days contain: the standing weekly schedule, the two systems you learn to run, the week-by-week curriculum, every artifact that ships, and the assets that leave with you whichever way the verdict goes.

01 · The work

We build it with you.
You keep the how.

A studio that builds for you leaves you dependent. Ninety days of building together leaves you able to do it again without us.

01

We are on the build, not on a call about the build.

The studio writes code, wires the infrastructure, and ships to production alongside you. Two reviews a week with a partner who has closed enterprise software, on the same repository you own.

02

You are in every buyer conversation.

Our sales bench builds the account list and runs the outbound against it. We book the meetings. You take them. By Day 90 you have run discovery and closed price yourself, dozens of times over.

03

Nothing is held back for leverage.

Rubrics, thresholds, playbooks, prompts, CRM, and the credit stack are yours to read from Week 1. We are trying to make ourselves unnecessary by Day 90.

What leaves with you

Even on a KILL.

A negative verdict ends the studio’s operating role. It does not take anything back. You walk out with the company and the capability to run the next one.

The stack
The AI build environment, the accounts, and the credits, all in the company's name.
The pipeline
The account list, the sequences, the CRM, and the objection library.
The method
How to scope a wedge, ship it in weeks, and price it in front of a buyer.
The record
A public, dated evidence trail an investor can verify without asking us.

The goal is a CEO who can ship and sell without us in the room.

02 · The week, every week

Thirteen weeks of the same five commitments.

No office hours, no mentor roulette. This is the standing schedule from Week 1 to Day 90.

  • Mon

    Week open

    One number to move this week, one wedge to ship, one thing we stop doing. Written down before anyone opens an editor.

    45 min
    Founder + build partner
  • Tue–Thu

    Build block

    Shared repository, shared branch reviews. You ship with us rather than watching a demo on Friday.

    Async, daily
    Founder + studio engineers
  • Wed

    Pipeline review

    We rebuild the account list, rewrite the sequences that died, and hand you the meetings booked for the week. You run every call.

    45 min
    Founder + sales bench
  • Thu

    Buyer calls

    Discovery and pricing in front of real buyers. We stay on mute, then debrief the objections into the library the same day.

    3–6 calls
    Founder leads, partner listens
  • Fri

    Evidence commit

    Metrics land in the record: revenue, early churn, weekly usage, calls run. Dated, immutable, and readable by the review panel.

    30 min
    Founder + partner
Weeks 1–2

Wedge and stack

Pick the wedge, stand up the build environment and the credit stack in the company's name.

Weeks 3–6

Ship and knock

First production release. Outbound starts against a named list. First priced conversations.

Weeks 7–10

Price and repeat

Close, then close again. We tune the offer until the same pitch works twice without us.

Weeks 11–13

Hand over

You run the cadence solo while we watch. Day 90 verdict off the record you built.

03 · What exists that did not before

Every phase ships artifacts you own.

Not advice, not frameworks. Working assets, dated as they land, and they stay with the company whichever way Day 90 goes.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Foundation

    Pipeline
    Named account list of 300+ qualified buyers, scored and loaded into the CRM.
    Landing
    Live site with the wedge stated in one sentence, pricing visible, and a booking flow.
    Stack
    Build environment, repository, analytics, and the credit accounts in the company's name.
  2. Weeks 3–6

    First contact

    Outbound
    Three sequences shipped across email and LinkedIn, with reply handling and an objection library.
    Product
    First production release of the wedge, deployed and instrumented.
    Dashboards
    Live revenue, usage, and pipeline dashboard wired to the record.
  3. Weeks 7–10

    Repeatability

    Onboarding
    Self-serve onboarding path plus a documented white-glove runbook for the first cohort of accounts.
    Pricing
    A tested price sheet with signed terms behind it, not a guess on a slide.
    Retention
    Early churn and weekly usage tracked per account, with alerts on the accounts drifting.
  4. Weeks 11–13

    Hand over

    Operating docs
    The playbook: how the build ships, how the pipeline runs, who owns which number.
    Data room
    Metrics, contracts, cap table, and the dated evidence trail an investor can verify.
    Verdict pack
    The Day 90 memo with the rubric scores and the reasoning behind the call.
04 · The ropes

The two systems you learn to run.

One ships the product. One finds the buyer. We wire both in front of you, then hand you the keys and the paperwork.

Infrastructure
Build environment
Repository, CI, and preview deploys wired with proper secrets handling. You push to production yourself in Week 1.
AI stack
Model routing, prompt versioning, evals, and cost ceilings so inference spend stays a line item you control.
Data and auth
Schema design and row-level security, with migrations and backups behind it. Who can read what, and how you prove it.
Instrumentation
Event taxonomy, activation and churn definitions, and the dashboard that feeds the Day 90 record.
Sales
List building
How to define the buyer, source the accounts, and disqualify fast instead of chasing everyone.
Outbound
Sequence structure, subject lines, follow-up spacing, and deliverability that keeps you out of spam.
Discovery
The call structure: current process, cost of the problem, who signs. Questions, not a demo.
Pricing and close
Anchoring, holding price under pressure, and the paper that turns a yes into revenue.

05 · Week by week

What gets taught, and when.

Both curricula run in parallel across the thirteen weeks. Each lesson lands on live work in your own company, not a case study.

  1. Week 1
    Wedge and stack
    Infrastructure

    Repo and entity set up, with environments split. Auth and database schema stood up on the shared stack.

    Sales

    Buyer definition and the disqualifier list. First hundred named accounts scored.

  2. Week 2
    Wedge and stack
    Infrastructure

    CI with preview deploys, behind a written deploy checklist. Secrets handling and access rules.

    Sales

    Sequence structure and the first outbound copy. Domain warmup and deliverability.

  3. Week 3
    Ship and knock
    Infrastructure

    The AI stack wired into the product path. Model choice and cost per call, with fallbacks when a provider fails.

    Sales

    Sending starts. Reply handling and objection capture. Booking mechanics that hold.

  4. Week 4
    Ship and knock
    Infrastructure

    Event taxonomy defined before features ship. Activation and usage instrumented.

    Sales

    Discovery call structure. Current process, cost of the problem, and who signs.

  5. Week 5
    Ship and knock
    Infrastructure

    First production release behind the checklist. Error tracking and alerting.

    Sales

    Sequence rewrite off reply data. Cutting the segments that do not answer.

  6. Week 6
    Ship and knock
    Infrastructure

    Dashboard build. Pipeline and usage read from the same source.

    Sales

    Demo discipline. Showing the wedge only, and naming the next step on every call.

  7. Week 7
    Price and repeat
    Infrastructure

    Multi-tenant data boundaries and row-level security under real accounts.

    Sales

    Pricing model and the anchor. Tiers and floors, plus the discount authority you keep.

  8. Week 8
    Price and repeat
    Infrastructure

    Onboarding flow in product. Time to first value measured, not guessed.

    Sales

    First paid asks. Holding price under pressure and reading a stall.

  9. Week 9
    Price and repeat
    Infrastructure

    Reliability work. Backups, restores, and the incident path when something breaks.

    Sales

    Contracting basics. Order form, terms, and turning a yes into revenue.

  10. Week 10
    Price and repeat
    Infrastructure

    Early churn and weekly usage definitions locked. Cohort views in the dashboard.

    Sales

    Account handoff to onboarding. The runbook that keeps a new customer alive.

  11. Week 11
    Hand over
    Infrastructure

    Ownership transfer. Accounts, billing, domains, and admin move to you.

    Sales

    Pipeline review with forecast rules. What counts as real and what does not.

  12. Week 12
    Hand over
    Infrastructure

    Operating docs written. Deploy, on-call, and the cost model per customer.

    Sales

    Hiring the first rep or running it yourself. Comp and quota, with the ramp math behind both.

  13. Week 13
    Hand over
    Infrastructure

    Data room assembled from the record. Metrics reproducible from raw events.

    Sales

    Investor narrative built off the evidence. Verdict pack and the ask.

06 · What you keep

The company and the capability. The paperwork to run either again.

  • Sales operating rhythm: Monday targets, Wednesday reviews, Friday commits.
  • Hiring plan and comp math for the first rep or engineer.
  • Investor narrative and the Day 90 verdict pack with rubric scores.
