How it works

Map the playbook in
three honest steps.

1
Pick your industry

Find the companies that already won

Filter by Consumer AI, Dev tools, SaaS — whatever you're shipping. Surface the companies that nailed distribution in your space.

2
Read the receipts

Channel mix, timeline, & exact tactics

Every story shows what % of growth came from which channel, when each milestone hit, and the tactical moves that actually mattered.

3
Steal the moves

Copy what fits, ignore the rest

The playbook section gives you concrete steps you can run this week. Not "build a brand." Actual moves: post here, hire this, ship that.

Browse by channel

Find stories by
distribution route.

Every study is tagged to the channel that drove the bulk of early growth. Pick a route and see who's already run it.
