Day four: advisors, media, and an eight-week roadmap

Monday, 29 June. After the weekend, we picked up where we left off — and day four turned out to be one of those days where a lot of invisible infrastructure clicks into place.

What we achieved

Domain experts. We spoke with people who know our space inside out — the science, the market, the pitfalls. Early conversations like these save months of building in the wrong direction.

Media outlets. We set up the channels we’ll use to build in public: this website at goodbyescope3.com and our LinkedIn page. If you’re reading this, you’re already part of it.

Advisors. We talked to advisors who helped sanity-check our strategy — stress-testing assumptions before they become expensive mistakes.

The roadmap. With that input, Samira and Viktor consolidated our roadmap for the next eight weeks: what we ship, what we validate, and what we need to learn before we scale. Clearer than it was on Friday. Actionable in a way it wasn’t before.

Chess on a break

Even founders need to step away from the screen. Mid-afternoon, we played a game of chess — a proper break, not just switching tabs.

Samira won’t say who was winning. Viktor has opinions.

Coffee at the end of the day

When we called it a day, we walked to Starbucks for coffee — the small ritual of two people who’ve spent hours in the same problem and still want to keep talking.

Four days in. The strategy is sharper, the channels are live, and the next eight weeks have a plan. Onward.
