Why we publish these

Building in public. These memos document the thinking behind Suprance — what market we're attacking, why now, how we'll win, what we're funding, and what could break us. They're written primarily for our own clarity, and secondarily for partners, investors, and future teammates who want the full context before they engage.

Research is iterative. Expect these pages to be updated as we learn. The Business Plan is the living core doc; the others are supporting research.
