t4 · Shaping the Build
StandupBot
A tool that automates daily team standups, taken from problem validation through a live launch with real users and measured outcomes - not a mockup.
0/0
Ship a real, small, working tool from problem validation through a live launch with real users and measured outcomes. The discipline being taught is refusing to build until the problem is established, then refusing to claim success until the data says so.
