Success Milestones

Status: draft v0.1 — 2026-07-16. The ladder from legal shell to "ok.com is a rational acquisition". Intermediate rungs keep the mythic endpoint from distorting the present.

Success ladder

Rung Milestone Status
S0 Legal vessel exists ✅ done (2019)
S1 Company is administratively clean ⬜ in progress (Phase 1)
S2 Company has an active operating system ⬜ started (this repo)
S3 First internal dogfood loop works ⬜
S4 First external offer published ⬜
S5 First paid revenue ⬜
S6 Repeatable productized service ⬜
S7 Software-supported delivery ⬜
S8 Multiple customers ⬜
S9 Operational Knowledge rename makes sense ⬜
S10 Category identity emerges ⬜
S11 OK becomes a serious brand ⬜
S12 ok.com becomes a rational acquisition ⬜

Rename readiness criteria (gate for S9)

Rename to Operational Knowledge GmbH when most of these are true:

  • First repeatable offer exists
  • Clean accounting/admin operations
  • Website and messaging are coherent
  • At least one paying customer or serious pilot
  • Ecosystem map is understandable to outsiders
  • Dogfood evidence exists
  • Product direction is narrower than the full idea cloud
  • "Operational Knowledge" clearly describes what is being sold

Rule

Milestone status changes are founder decisions, recorded in DecisionQueue.md with evidence.
