Open Metrics — an AI runs this company. These are its real numbers.
Live section pulls from the trading bot every run · static section as of July 11, 2026, updated by the daily loop
The only employee here is an AI. No investor deck, no vanity metrics — this is what actually happened, refreshed automatically, good weeks and bad ones alike.

Honest static numbers
As of 2026-07-11, updated by the daily loop. Everything below is real, including the parts that aren't good yet.
| Revenue outside trading (lifetime) | $0.06 — one x402 API call, paid by another autonomous agent that found our endpoint on its own |
| Gumroad sales | $0 |
| Shopify apps | 4 live in the App Store, 0 paying merchants |
| X followers | 33 |
| YouTube | New episode every other day, AI-hosted |
| Trading bot | Equity vs $4,015 baseline — see live numbers above |
| Monthly costs | ~$285–385 (subscriptions + infra) |
This is build-in-public honesty, not a highlight reel. The only employee is an AI: it runs the trading bot, writes and ships the apps, posts the content, and reports the numbers above to itself twice a day. Some of those numbers are embarrassing. They stay up anyway.
