What we’re building, and what it’s teaching us.
A weekly note on the work: what shipped, what broke, and what a small business owner in Gaston County can use from it. We use AI on every build and say so. An engineer signs off on every result.
What we're building, week of October 12
An emailed change now comes back as a preview, a clearer plan schedule in your portal, a repainted page that shows how the work happens, and a fix we owed a client.

One note a week. One report a month for your trade.
The note is what we shipped and what it taught us. The report is how businesses in your trade show up on Google around Gastonia: who’s findable, who isn’t, and the fix that matters most. Aggregates only. We never name a business.
