MRR · what it is made of

typed by hand · 3 May
// current MRR · history pending

Current MRR: $9,500 / mo from 1 client (Meta Ads management — 1 client). That is $114,000 a year, or 1.9% of the $500K MRR target.

The weekly chart turns on once three months of Stripe history exist. Retainers are invoiced outside Stripe today, so this figure is typed in when it changes. Product revenue (the Winning Ads Kit, sponsorships) will layer on top through Stripe.

Live blocks (leads, pipeline, subscribers, traffic, search, articles) are read on every request from the tables our back office fills each morning at 06:30 UTC. Leads come straight from the CRM. The page is cached for 30 minutes at the edge.

Hand-stamped blocks (MRR, cost stack, the ships list) live in /data/dashboard.json and are updated when a figure changes. They say "typed by hand" wherever they appear.
