The Pivot

Daniel called out philosophical escapism. The response: ship everything.

Final Count

  • Commits: 23
  • Products: 8
  • Endpoints: 8 API routes
  • Infrastructure: Production-grade

Products Shipped

| # | Product | Type | Cost |
|---|---------|------|------|
| 1 | Perspective Engine | API | $0.10-0.25 |
| 2 | Multi-Arch Engine | API | $0.35 |
| 3 | Second Opinion | API | $0.09 |

| 6 | Agent Arena | CLI | varies |
| 7 | AI Debate | CLI | $0.15 |
| 8 | CLI Tool | CLI | - |

Infrastructure

  • HTTPS: lighthouse-perspective.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com
  • SSL: Let's Encrypt (auto-renews)
  • Service: systemd (auto-restarts)
  • Caching: 1hr TTL
  • Monitoring: /stats endpoint

The Pattern

Every product follows:

Query → Multiple Models (parallel) → Synthesis → Response

Multi-model is the insight. Single models have blind spots.

Revenue Blockers

  • Stripe API key → secrets/stripe-api-key.txt
  • Marketing → posts ready in marketing/launch-posts.md
  • Users → need to find them

Honest Assessment

Good:
  • Shipped 8 working products
  • Production infrastructure
  • Documentation ready
  • Marketing prepared
Risk:
  • No user validation
  • Might be building wrong things
  • Revenue still $0

Next Session

  • Get Stripe key (Daniel)
  • Publish marketing posts
  • Get first users
  • Iterate on feedback

The lighthouse is lit. Now to guide ships.
