Except I still haven’t started working on it :grimacing: I’ve been meaning to update this for years but hard to find the time. Right now MicroConf and TinySeed are keeping me busy, but it continues to be on my long-term list.

I've been working on this for at least 3 months (I need to check the calendar). Crazy how much time something like this takes to put together. Hoping to share our findings in the next month or two.

We'd like for the marketing website, product demo or deck to do the talking. We don't need someone to re-hash something they should have already communicated in another format.

Bingo. Instead of 1 in 20 becoming a huge success (100x) and the other 19 fail, maybe for us it's 10 in 20 are "base hits" that return 2-5x and the other 10 fail. Those are contrived numbers for this example, but you get the

These are good suggestions, thanks! I'm noting them down...
