The Sunday digest is the broadcast. The monthly State of GitHub is the long-form. This is the in-between — five fields, updated every Monday. Status, not face. Convention borrowed from nownownow.com.
01 · Shipping this week
02 · Reading
03 · Blocked
Publishing the blocker keeps the cadence honest. If I keep writing “blocked” for a thing every week, that’s a real signal — please DM me about it.
04 · Parking lot
Not a roadmap. A backlog of things I want to ship and have decided not to ship yet. Listed publicly so I can’t quietly drop them.
05 · Weekly rhythm
The cadence is the character. If a Monday digest doesn’t arrive, something broke; if every Monday digest is on time for twelve months, the rhythm is real.
06 · Twelve months from now
The character has to project a future or it’s a static pose. The five public commits below get graded one year from publish (2027-05-09). Either kept or admitted-broken-with-reason. No third option.
Commit 1 — Still anonymous.
No founder face, no real voice, no real-name media tour. If a podcast audience grows by 100K through breaking the rule, the rule still holds. The whole product rests on whether this commitment is kept; the day it breaks is the day the methodology has to compete with personality, and it loses.
Commit 2 — Twelve State-of-Engine addresses on the record.
One per month, every month, May 2026 → April 2027. Each one with a falsifiable prediction graded the following month. Twelve in a row is the cadence proof — eleven is a project, twelve is a practice.
Commit 3 — /scorecard published with at least 80 weekly picks graded.
Twelve months × 4–5 weekly picks per Sunday = ~52 grading windows by May 2027. Hit/Miss/Pending public, no curation. If the published precision drops below 60% across the panel, the price drops with it — the credibility chain has to hold both directions.
Commit 4 — One additional methodology author on the SSRN paper.
Co-author named — credit shared. Not because the work needs help (it doesn't) but because a methodology that lives in one anonymous head is one regression-rewrite away from breaking. A second name on the next preprint version is a continuity commitment to the buyer.
Commit 5 — Insider Circle at 200 paid members or the price drops.
Founding-member rate locked at €97/mo until 200 active subscribers, then a 60-day notice and a public price hike. The cohort closes when the math closes. Members who joined early stay at the locked rate forever.
