DaySmart Pursuit

Quick Reference

JASON'S 5 QUESTIONS

Every proposal, every recommendation, every slide must answer these. If it doesn't pass all five, it doesn't make the pitch.

Customer Impact

Does this ship features customers want, faster? Does the end user — the salon owner, the vet clinic — see a difference?

Cycle Time

Is the improvement measurable? Jason tracks to the day. 35 days to 16-17. If you can't put a number on it, don't say it.

Scale

Does it work across ALL 10 products and 6+ tech stacks? A solution for one language is a hobby. A solution for all is a platform.

Platform

Does it help unify the portfolio? Does it make the next acquisition easier, not harder? Jason thinks in platform terms.

Pragmatic

No studies. No heavy frameworks. No 3-year roadmaps. He wants results fast. Prove it on one team, then roll it out.
