Where I see myself in 5 years
The five-year arc — from prototype to deployed swarm, and the people I want around me by the end of it.
In five years I want to be measuring the right things. Right now I measure shipped subsystems and weeks-of-runway, which are necessary but myopic.
Five years out, the metric I care about is the number of households whose weekly time use shifted because of an artifact I helped build — not as a proxy for reach, but as a proxy for whether the thing is doing what it was supposed to do.
To get there I need:
- Prototype 3 in shippable form, manufacturable in batches of 100.
- A small permanent team — three, maybe five.
- A second-mover that I helped raise, working on the orthogonal axis.
I revise this annually; this is the 2025 cut.
