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.

Layout

File What it is
BUSINESS-MODEL.md The recommended model: positioning, ICPs, product ladder + pricing, channel plan, unit economics, 12-month roadmap, risks, KPI checkpoints.
DECISIONS.md The settled-decisions log. Only entries here count as settled โ€” the model doc proposes, this log disposes. Newest on top.
ROADMAP.md ยท BOARD.md Operational plan (now/next/later) + the active-task board.
PROSPECTS.md Living pipeline tracker: client prospects + partner/referral targets.
career-opportunities.md 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-hub โ€” memory points here. Ask for updates, new research legs, or pricing changes; new research lands in research/ as a dated file, decisions get logged in DECISIONS.md.
  • In NotebookLM (or similar): create a notebook and add BUSINESS-MODEL.md, DECISIONS.md, and the research/*.md files 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.
