biz/ โ the danielslater.dev business workspace
The living knowledge base for the dev-services business. Started 2026-07-17 from a multi-agent strategy session (5 Sonnet research legs โ 3 Opus designs โ 3 Opus adversarial critiques โ 1 Opus synthesis, ~620k tokens). Daniel works with this corpus over time โ every future session (Claude or otherwise) should treat it as the commercial source of truth.

|---|---|
BUSINESS-MODEL.md |
The recommended model: positioning, ICPs, product ladder + pricing, channel plan, unit economics, 12-month roadmap, risks, KPI checkpoints. |

Living pipeline tracker: client prospects + partner/referral targets. |

Personal full-time job leads (kept here per Daniel's call; distinct from the agency pipeline). |
clients/ ยท agents/ |
Per-client state (metrics/data-requests) + the agent registry. |
research/ |
Dated research drops, one markdown file per sweep (raw JSON alongside where it exists). |
How to work with it
- In Claude Code: open a session anywhere in
~/dan-hubโ memory points here. Ask for updates, new research legs, or pricing changes; new research lands inresearch/as a dated file, decisions get logged inDECISIONS.md. - In NotebookLM (or similar): create a notebook and add
BUSINESS-MODEL.md,DECISIONS.md, and theresearch/*.mdfiles as sources (markdown drops straight in; skip the.json). Re-sync sources after big updates โ NotebookLM doesn't watch files. - Conventions: prices in ZAR with USD/GBP alongside; plan-math uses an R16.0/$ buffer (spot ~R16.33 as of 2026-07-17). No hospitality anywhere, ever (employer separation). Stack-agnostic capability language in anything client-facing.
