Weekly Update: Apr 18–24, 2026

This week: exceeded my old Forto salary, put my entire business into a GitHub repo, and got a lot of product thinking done: feature matrix, CMF questionnaire, and client journey spec.

Updates

Revenue milestone: For the first time, I not only hit my revenue goal (€6,700 vs. €6,000 target), I also exceeded my old Forto salary. 🥹

Business docs as code: I moved all my business docs — ICP, strategy, curriculum, etc. — into GitHub so Claude has full, persistent context on the business. This is a game changer. Instead of re-explaining myself every session, Claude can read the repo, remember decisions, and pick up where we left off. I asked it:

"When did I start this repo? Can you give me a rough timeline of main activities?"

Here's the answer:

Feature Matrix

I'll have more to say about this as I develop it further, but the short version: I can now work with an AI that actually knows my business.

A lot of product work this week.

  • Feature matrix. A health dashboard tracking every activation point in the program: what's built, how much coach time it costs, and where the gaps are. The first product-wide view of where the program is strong and where it's broken.
  • CMF questionnaire. A structured self-guided tool clients complete before our first real call — cutting CMF sessions from 2–3 hours down to 1. Already tested with a new client: she said she got so much clarity — not just on her narrative and what she's great at, but on specific roles in Berlin she could apply to that she never knew about.
  • Client journey spec. A full map of every phase and activation point in sequence: the challenge each one solves, what the client needs to learn and do, and what "done" looks like. The implementation layer of the curriculum.
