One card at a time

Today is not a page. It is a short deck of cards, each one thing that needs Gabriel now, in his words, with a plain answer on it. When the deck is empty, the day is done.

One day, one card at a time

Thursday, September 3. He is in Charlotte, day 4 of 9 off work. Every screen below is what he sees on his phone at that hour.

Marketplace vision, the pricing part

  • Price the marketplace as a percentage of the deal, not a subscription.
  • The buyer pays, never the supplier.
  • The vision doc needs a pricing section before anything else.
  • Ask Kunal whether the take-rate reads as fair.

7 PM and afterOne question, then one held noteThe evening asks the only thing it could not read on its own. Behind it sits the Zola link he sent himself on Aug 28: task, calendar, or drop. Two cards, not a triage list.
