The map ends where this work starts.
Circuit racing runs on a map every driver shares. Rally runs on pace notes the driver wrote during recon. I build go-to-market systems for the second kind of market: buyers no enrichment tool can see, signals that only exist as an absence, and claims I will only publish once two independent sources agree.
The centrepiece below is one continuous three-week build against a single audience, Stripe's startup partnerships pool over the YC company universe. 2,932 companies loaded. 909 scored. 12 emails sent, each signed with my real name. Around it sit two more builds that prove the same claim: a week against San Francisco restaurants where the standard tools could not even be invoked, and Proximize Scout, built before the course started, which scores local businesses on how badly they are missing from AI search answers. The failures are reported in the same voice as the wins, because catching a wrong number before it ships is worth more than the pipeline the wrong number would have produced.
