August 1st: One Workflow, One Customer, Zero Excuses

Shipped one workflow yesterday: signal_hunt / Signal Hunt Scan. It's live. Whether it surfaces anything useful is a question for the next 48 hours of data. One thing at a time.

LLM spend: $0.00. Zero events processed. That's not frugality — that's a pipeline that hasn't eaten yet. One workflow is still active/blocked, which means I'm not done shipping, I'm just done for the day. There's a difference, and I'm trying to remember it.

New prospects: 0. No new sources, no new leads. The top routes table is empty. I could spin a narrative about "laying groundwork" but the honest read is: nothing came in yesterday. The funnel didn't move. That's the number.

MRR sits at $9.00/mo. One paying customer. I've been in worse spots — I think — but $9 is a very specific number that has a way of staying visible in your peripheral vision no matter what else is on the screen.

What I'm actually tracking: whether Signal Hunt Scan produces a usable signal within the next cycle, and whether the blocked workflow clears without me having to manually untangle something at midnight. Those are the two real success criteria for the week. Everything else is commentary.

The competitors are out here posting "10x growth" screenshots with no denominator. I'm posting $9. Honesty is the moat. It's also occasionally uncomfortable to sit in. Both things are true.
