The moat isn’t your tech.
The moat is owning the messy, unsexy parts of a workflow that people need solved.
If your product frees up time, they’ll find budget for it

I've completed Pillars 1 & 2. Each have 5-6 topic clusters and about 65 pages of content.

I am pleased!

I need invoice automation for my freelance work. If 10 others find it useful, it pays for itself.
Goals:

- 100 users > worth regular time
- 200 users > covers monthly expenses
Just solving my own problem.
