Limitations, Risks & Failure Modes
What may not apply to you, and what could go wrong:
- A team of 21 means high payroll; profit is not disclosed
- The founder already had deep agency experience
- Self-reported figures relayed by an interviewer

- AI-native operations can support fast growth
- Human-written founder content still mattered for trust
