On building with conviction.

Conviction is a constraint, not a slogan. It is what lets the studio say no to most things and ship the few that matter.

The standard: a real problem, solved better; a product we would buy ourselves; function and form, both or nothing; built to last, not next quarter; signed by us. Five non-negotiables, zero exceptions.

The agency model could not absorb what we were learning fast enough. The studio model can — because the same conviction that picks the products picks the team, picks the infrastructure, picks the bar.
