Launching today: The Flywheel Audit.
Five days. I go through your app stage by stage, find where the flywheel stalls, and tell you what to change. Done by me, with agents I've built for parts of the work.

$499. First five at half price.
I'm reviewing apps on Reddit this week.
The format: drop your app, who it's for, and where users drop off. I reply with a read of your flywheel: the stages, the likeliest leak, and what I'd try. Six reviews in already, so you can see what you'd get.

Does your app have a growth flywheel?
It should. A flywheel helps users get more value out of your app. And makes it easy for them to bring in others.
I made a quick quiz to check the state of yours. Seven questions, 2 minutes:

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution
I've built an app. It's called PLX.Design. It helps people who make apps get more customers — first by turning visitors into paying users, then by getting those users to tell their friends.

Don't build a mine before you've struck gold; cogent advice from @Altimor

📣 Successful organizations do three things: they create value for customers, they fulfill their people, and they produce above-average returns. Here are three ideas from WorkMatters #266 to help you do the same:
🌐 **Federated Ecosystems**: Don't get caught in the hierarchy vs. flatness debate. Opt for a federated ecosystem—autonomous entities united by shared governance. Scale without sacrificing adaptability. #organizationaleffectiveness

Large orgs are like oil tankers; Small orgs are like speedboats. A familiar analogy. @ravi_mehta provides a different take on @lennysan's podcast:
Orgs are like cars: big ones drive fast, which makes turning difficult; small ones drive slowly, which makes turning easier.

I've got another issue of WorkMatters out... number 265 for those counting.
Three ideas to help us build better organizations from Schumpeter, @naval, and @komorama, respectively.

The theory of "creative destruction", introduced by Joseph Schumpeter in 1942, is a pertinent reminder to always think long-term, ensuring we're not just reacting to immediate changes but preparing for the future.
