Discovery ledger

Hypotheses, not products.

Every concept below is pre-validation. No entry is launched, available, or authorized for software build.

QuoteLeak

Discovery — no build authorized

A proposed concierge audit for estimate-to-invoice margin leakage at specialty contractors. This is a hypothesis, not software or a validated service.

Status as of
2026-07-31
Decision state
ADVANCE TO INTERVIEWS
Owner
.md Studios discovery lead
Evidence threshold
Across three independent firms, find unexplained leakage worth at least 1% of job revenue or $1,000 per audited job; two firms must pay for a repeat audit or pilot.
Next reversible test
Interview five specialty-contractor controllers or owners, then request one redacted closed-job packet only after each interview.

TurnReady

Interview-only discovery — no build authorized

A proposed evidence layer for multifamily unit turnovers. It must prove a gap in incumbent systems before any product work.

Status as of
2026-07-31
Decision state
REDESIGN IF DUPLICATE ENTRY IS REQUIRED
Owner
.md Studios discovery lead
Evidence threshold
At least 15% of sampled turnovers show avoidable delay, missing evidence, or disputed completion; identify one avoidable vacancy day or equivalent rework cost per five turnovers.
Next reversible test
Complete eight interviews across onsite, regional, and executive roles; seek historical records for 25 units from each of two operators.

ExitBinder / Dossier

Internal protocol discovery — not a commercial offer

A human-led transfer-readiness evidence index under investigation. It is not a valuation, legal opinion, security attestation, or available product.

Status as of
2026-07-31
Decision state
ADVANCE INTERNALLY; KILL GENERIC CHECKLIST
Owner
.md Studios transfer lead
Evidence threshold
Find five recurring diligence gaps across three completed or abandoned transactions; two buyers must say the evidence index changes diligence time or a holdback/request list.
Next reversible test
Interview ten buyers or brokers and five sellers; examine three transaction records under confidentiality.

Provenance

Reserve hypothesis — not yet tested

A placeholder research direction around source-linked operating evidence. No market, workflow, or offer has been validated.

Status as of
2026-07-31
Decision state
HOLD / KILL WITHOUT NAMED BUYER
Owner
Unassigned
Evidence threshold
A named economic buyer must identify recurring, costly provenance failure and provide source artifacts for a bounded manual test.
Next reversible test
Define one buyer-specific failure mode and recruit five interviews before drafting a service or interface.

Brandcheck

Reserve hypothesis — not yet tested

A placeholder research direction for evidence-backed brand governance. It is neither launched nor authorized for build.

Status as of
2026-07-31
Decision state
HOLD / REDESIGN BEFORE TEST
Owner
Unassigned
Evidence threshold
A budget owner must show frequent brand-governance errors with measurable remediation cost that current review tools do not already solve.
Next reversible test
Narrow the operator and failure event, then run five problem interviews with no product pitch.
