Case boards
My own projects, as live numbers
A case study is written once, after the fact, usually by someone with a course to sell. A board is different: it shows the whole pipeline while it is still running — how many ideas went in, how many survived each gate, what has actually shipped, and what it has earned. Including the rows that are still zero, which are the rows worth checking on anyone's case.
The other directions
Each of these is running. None of them gets a board until there are real numbers to put on it — which is why they appear here as a plan rather than as a page.
- In preparation
The AI music label
Multi-genre releases built solo and distributed to streaming. The board waits on real streaming payout figures — the number that decides whether any of it means anything. Its detailed layer will carry a discount for buyers of the game-studio case, because the soundtracks came from here.
- In preparation
YouTube channels: music, news, education
Three channel types run as separate experiments from the same production line, plus the promotion playbook for music channels — sold at a discount to anyone who has the music-label case.
- In preparation
International web projects
English-language sites built for search traffic in markets I do not live in, this one included. Traffic, list and revenue tracked from zero, publicly.
- In preparation
Micro-SaaS platforms
One-person software products with real users and real churn. The board publishes only what can be shown without exposing customers.
How a board lives, and what it costs
A board is not a finished article, so it does not behave like one. It moves through four steps, and the price of its detailed layer follows the step rather than my mood — down, never up.
-
While the direction is live
The current version of the detailed layer is at full price, because it keeps growing: every new result, number and lesson lands in it while I am still doing the work. Buy once and the updates to that version are included.
-
When the next version ships
Each version is sold up to a point, then replaced by a better one built on everything learned since. When that happens the previous version becomes free, or nearly. You can start on the old one, see whether the material is worth anything to you, and upgrade only if it is.
-
When I stop working the direction
The board is marked closed, the numbers freeze, and the price drops again. What you get is a complete, finished record rather than a live feed — worth less, and priced accordingly.
-
About a year after that
Everything opens completely and becomes free to read. Nothing here stays behind a wall forever; the point of an archive is that somebody learns from it.
Boards that feed each other are bundled: the soundtracks in my games come from my music project, so buying one of those cases gets you the other at a discount. Nothing is priced until it exists.
