About
I help teams lock in gains: same zones, same labels, same reset. Standard chests let average days produce pro output—across every bay.
Core Beliefs
Consistency outperforms heroics over any production horizon.
Background
A multi-bay team asked why their best tech always ran late. Every chest was different. We standardized zones, colors, and labels, and wrote a 10-minute reset. The next month, throughput rose without hiring. Consistency isn’t boring; it’s how normal people hit pro numbers every day.
