Internal Daily Use

Use SmartBox ourselves for 10+ hours per week of actual productive work.

The Action

Use SmartBox as our primary development environment for building SmartBox and other products. Not testing - actual work.

Why This Gates Progress

If we can’t use our own product for real work, we have no business selling it. This gate ensures we’ve crossed the threshold from “demo-able” to “usable”.

What 10+ Hours Means

  • Not leaving it running in the background
  • Not testing features
  • Actual productive development work
  • Replacing other tools, not supplementing them
