04 What I'm working on

AI broke hiring.

AI résumé flood.
2.5x
more applications per role than five years ago — 250 per opening (Glassdoor, 2026)
Fraud is rampant.
56%
of college students have used AI on assignments or exams (BestColleges, 2025)
Zero trust.
91%
of hiring teams have spotted or suspected candidate deception (Greenhouse, 2026)
05 motif

Work simulations for AI-native roles.

Candidates solve real cases with AI, and you see every decision they make. The simulation is like a game that measures what value candidates add ON TOP of AI.

The motif sandbox: a recorded macOS desktop wired with Clay, Claude Code, n8n and a CRM.

09 The bet

AI unleashes the top 1%.

You're betting:

  • That AI disruption makes it viable for small teams to do things 100x faster and better.
  • That I can iterate on this 20x faster than I could have three years ago.
  • That I can pivot 20x faster than I could have three years ago.

"There's a betting pool for the first year there's a one-person, billion-dollar company. Unimaginable without AI — and now it will happen."

— Sam Altman, OpenAI
