Request Board · local working preview

Bring a problem. Compare ways to solve it.

The customer-demand side of Build Own Sell. Choose a useful outcome—not whether someone wrote new code.

An open field notebook records a business-model sketch and observations.
No live marketplace activity is represented. The three briefs below are fictional teaching examples. Prepare your own private brief, compare responses locally, and export it for a controlled pilot.
01 · Recommend

Use what already works.

Show the exact tool, workflow fit, source, limitations and real cost.

02 · Configure

Offer a working setup.

Define the configuration, handoff, support and price separately from licenses.

03 · Demonstrate

Show the actual workflow.

Use the same safe sample and criteria. A polished video is not a passed test.

04 · Build

Create only what is missing.

Submit an original product or custom deliverable with an accountable operator.

Draft a request Compare example responses

Illustrative brief 1

Stop chasing clients for approval across email and chat

Two kinds of demand. One ownership lifecycle.

“I need this workflow.”

Request Board: the customer wants software or a service to use. Payment proves a defined transaction—not a sellable company.

“I want a business like this.”

Buyer Board: the acquirer wants a transferable operating asset. Public criteria are not an offer to buy a newly built app.

“Is this repeatable?”

Build Lab: independent customer evidence, costs, retention and handoff determine whether one useful solution can become a business.
