You can't build a real company on someone else's foundation.
So what's the solution?
You must build with data first.
Here's how it works:
1. Figure out what your customer is trying to achieve
2. Map out all the things that need to happen for them to achieve it
3. Build systems that capture data about those things
4. Use that data to predict outcomes
The AI just turns messy input into clean numbers. Your data and equations make the actual decisions. This is how you build something that lasts 10 years instead of 6 months.
I just released a video breaking down the full framework. It's 15 minutes. Link in comments. Stop building wrappers. Start building moats.
