Technical PASS is not Product PASS
What a working document prototype did — and did not — prove about Exam Workbench, and why technical feasibility and product demand need separate gates.
Journal
Notes from work that actually happened.
We share product decisions, engineering lessons, launches, postmortems, and experiments drawn from work we have done ourselves, with enough first-hand context to be useful.
Why we replaced a SaaS starter with a static-first studio site
Why we kept the useful parts of the old site's public footprint, dropped its SaaS runtime assumptions, and proved the replacement on isolated Cloudflare staging.
Editorial standard
Every note should add something of its own.
- First-hand evidence
Implementation details, screenshots, benchmarks, deployment facts, observations from use, or properly anonymized data.
- Original decision
Why a choice was made, what alternatives were considered, and what evidence changed the decision.
- Reusable learning
A method someone else can apply, along with the situations where it does not fit.
