About / Proof

We run this on our own business first.

The case study is not a slide deck. It is a register, a review queue, and a website you can inspect.

Built by an operator, not pitched by a salesperson. Every service on this site is a system we run on our own business first — a restaurant in Downers Grove, Illinois, doing roughly $1M a year in sales. That scale is context, not a claim: we will never tell you our marketing caused that revenue, because nobody honest can separate the two. What we can show you is the machinery, running, with its numbers.
