What These Projects Have in Common
Most involve taking something manual and making it automatic. Contra needed job listings - we built a Chrome extension that let 30,000 users find them. getBenson was losing margin to discount extensions - we blocked them. The pattern: find the repetitive work, automate it, measure what changes.The Numbers
