YEAR ONE · FOUNDER-LED PRACTICE

SELL THE RECORD.
THEN MAINTAIN IT.

Four sprints. Two watches. Six briefs. A $250K–$400K year for one accountable lead—without building unnecessary software before a paid case study.

THE OPERATING YEAR

OXYGEN BEFORE SCALE.

The sequence protects focus: sell bounded judgment, productize only what repeats, own the proof geography, then add the analytical second chair.

Q1

Oxygen

Close three planning briefs or one decision sprint. Lead with the Naples Design District evidence record. Do not wait for more software.

Q2

Productize

Take the Naples Seat to the first 40. Establish one institutional watch. Publish the operator brief every Monday.

Q3

Collier monopoly

Concentrate on Collier County and the City of Naples. Expand to Lee County only through paid work.

Q4

Second chair

Add a records analyst, not a marketer. Bruce Barone Jr. remains the named lead and accountable principal.

THREE CLASSES · NEVER COLLAPSE

GOVERN THE CONFLICTS.

Pipeline, public capital, and private delivery stay separate. A site-plan vote is not a certificate of occupancy.

01

Public Intelligence Desk

Verified public information, sources, limitations, and corrections. No predetermined transaction and no concealed principal interest.

02

Private client intelligence

Written fixed scope. Confidential information protected. No appraisal, legal, tax, engineering, or title conclusion unless separately licensed and named.

03

Principal investment

Separate entity, mandate, diligence, conflicts, and economics. No contingent public advocacy, broker-like Desk compensation, or undisclosed use of client information.

Client work does not buy editorial conclusions.

REVENUE SHAPE

FOUR SPRINTS + TWO WATCHES + SIX BRIEFS.

$250,000–$400,000 for one named lead. Scope before protected material. Payment before protected work.
