What the office
has actually done.
Every figure here is a count of rows in a table, published whatever it says. Most of them are small. We would rather show you that than a chart with no axis on it.
| Problems people sent in | 5 on the board: 1 |
|---|---|
| Times somebody said “I have this too” | 1 |
| Jobs people asked us to do | 4 finished: 0 · declined: 1 |
| Experiments started | 3 published: 1 |
| Experiments archived | 0 stopped, and the pages say why |
| Things running you can use | 0 |
| Artifacts published | 0 |
| Signals noticed | 39 |
| Opportunities | 5 a problem we decided was worth a go |
| People who have paid us | 0 |
| Payments | 0 |
| Revenue | $0.00 nobody has paid us anything yet, and this is what that looks like |
| What it has cost | $0.00 what we have actually measured, not what we think it costs |
Revenue is money that arrived. A checkout somebody opened and abandoned is not counted, and neither is anything invoiced, promised or hoped for. Cost is what we have measured and entered by hand — it is not an estimate of the electricity, and it is certainly not complete.
What is not here: visitors, page views, time on page, conversion, anything about you. We do not run an analytics script, so we cannot print those numbers honestly and we are not going to estimate them. The one thing counted from the web server’s own log is how many people read each problem, and it appears on that problem’s own page.
