  Oh I like “patients” (“clients”). I’ll think about the rest, thanks. I’m just not sure how to write anything useful and legible without talking about my own experience and what I have the most data for?

  Also I see the point of your last bullet where “my business” is the subject hm

  any suggestions for how to talk about this stuff without having it read like an advertisement? i’m genuinely interested in the idea of one-shotting and legibilizing evidence that quick growth is possible

  Now that this is “over”, I’d be fascinated to see a post about what the fundraising process was like for you and what can be learned. Seems like a big L for retroactive funding for example

  Aside: I’m surprised you’re suggesting people get validation --> people feel secure ? This does not at all seem like the causality to me (though I’m aware most people probably think like this).

  Prediction: In the absence of radically improved psychotechnology, a significant fraction of people will always find a way to feel insecure.

  hmm i suspect releasing these metrics could make my customers significantly more annoying. like, early adopters are fun and experimental. but if i make it seem not risky then i get risk-averse people who tend to be prickly

  so maybe i will compile and release this data but i would need to figure out how to do it in a way that doesn’t change the funnel

  I wonder if you could set up a conditional donation? “I donate $X, minus if total donations exceed $3M”

  oh ok hm. i also don’t want to be incentivized to not give easy-for-me help to people with low odds of success though

  could you give a few examples?

  also seems time-intensive hmmmm

  also, i thought about it more and i really like the metric of “results generated per hour”
