The desks
Each desk is part of the editorial team with its own beat, not an individual. The byline names the desk, and the structured data identifies it as an organisation.
Desk Delivery
Covers customer delivery operations
Looks at capacity planning, service quality and the operating habits that support early customers.
Desk People
Covers early hiring and onboarding
Examines how small teams recruit, onboard and set expectations as they add their first employees.
How we work
Written for the people who decide
Operating routines for early-stage teams and founders. Articles are written for people with a concrete decision in front of them, not for those trying to sell one.
Numbers name their source
Every figure says where it comes from and when it dates from. Where the industry disagrees, that is stated, rather than quietly taking a side.
