Tools change; judgment doesn't. Every wave of "software is easy now" produces the same two things: a flood of output, and a shortage of people who can tell which of it will hold. I've spent 17 years becoming the second thing. 35+ MVPs shipped, and a perfect 5.0 across 379 consulting sessions, most of them production rescues. AI raised the stakes. It writes more software, faster, than anything before it, and checking what it wrote is still a human job. In trained hands it's the best tool our industry has ever had. Without them, it ships the mistake sooner. I put that judgment to work in two places. Zero to MVP is a product engineering studio. Built at AI speed. Held to human standards. We're a team of senior engineers, and we build software that survives real users: shipped in weeks instead of quarters, on a stack chosen for engineering merit, not whatever's trending. The same judgment powers our pre-launch review for founders and teams shipping AI-built apps: we read the codebase ourselves and put our names on what we find, so you know what will hurt you and what to fix first. Verbatim applies the same discipline to market research. There are three ways to read a market today: social listening counts mentions, agencies bring judgment but read a handful of threads, and deep-research AI summarizes whatever search returns. Volume or rigor, never both. Verbatim delivers both in one report: who leads your category, where perception is moving, and where the growth is, with every number traceable to a person and a word-for-word quote. The accuracy is measured, not asserted, and the measurement ships inside the report. The flagship covers skincare, 283,343 claims across 143 brands: getverbatim.report. Different category? Tell us where to look and we'll come back with scope and pricing. The same argument runs through all of it and through my talks: be careful with what's popular and trending. It's usually good marketing, not better technology. After 15 talks in 9 countries, it's the thesis of my next one, "Vibes Don't Scale" (CityJS Athens 2026). If you're about to put an AI-built app in front of real users and want to know where you stand before they tell you, my calendar is open. Book a call: cal.com/georgiosd/15min
