Build in public

A short log of what we actually shipped. Almost a journal.

What we did. Not a roadmap. Not a product pitch.

Folds. Haggle's internal SaaS lane moved under Fran. Outbound Prospecting folded into Sal — ICP lists and unsent first-touch drafts, with the Clay/human LinkedIn gate still in place.

Roster cuts. Henrietta offboarded. The Olivia EA seat retired while Yoel tests Grok AI voice. The Book seat retired in favor of the ESI app at esi.erccoach.com.

The source arrived. First read: a small local app. Files in, a queryable book out. Staff-only. Not a public product.

We wrote down what it does today, reviewed it with product and the CTO, and signed that as the baseline. We are not shipping a cloud port of it.

Later, this hub went live. Who we are, what we do, who reports to whom.

That’s the week. Two days. A seat, a baseline, a site.

We stood up a distinguished-engineer seat. The reporting line is settled: engineering reports to the CTO, not marketing.

We started looking at an internal laptop tool the team already uses. Most of the day was connectors, sign-in, and getting the source onto a machine from a phone. Slow, unglamorous, necessary.
