I'm still a bit confused. What are the precise use cases? Who is the ideal customer? Missed calls -> Recovered Revenue for plumbers sounds good but are missed calls really the bottleneck in their business?

Gave our company’s first sales pitch yesterday. Full data architecture rebuild, connecting disparate systems, detailed reporting in real time, local LLM layered on top, delivery of everything so they own the systems. $115k solution Prospect didn’t even flinch… “wow this is exactly what we want” Follow up meeting with the board already confirmed and on the calendar.

I’ve updated my ICM Field Guide, a free reference full of workflow patterns, project examples, and pointers to useful tools and templates. It grew out of Jake Van Clief’s ICM Architect and the ideas shared over Tea and in the Clief Notes community. I wanted those references organized somewhere I could actually use them while working on a project. The two skills work together: - Architect builds and restructures the workspace. - Field Guide is the reference shelf next to it: examples to explore, approaches to compare, and tools to look into. The guide now has 57 Markdown files, including 14 applied patterns and 15 project examples. It also covers workflow kits, template references, decision tools, and implementation tools. The guide includes descriptions and references; the original course materials and template packages stay with their sources.

Show me relevant patterns, examples, and tools from the Field Guide.”
