Episode notes

- Price aggressively low to force automation and productization; constraints eliminate humans-in-loop and drive engineering scale.
- Build a membership + ecosystem that bundles tests, data and 20% off therapeutics to capture long-term revenue.

- Great brand is convex: small improvements at the top deliver outsized returns, so focus on core beliefs and distinctiveness.
- Express beliefs through manifesto, visual identity and language rather than copy-paste marketing.

- Ask what they really want and craft a genuine offer rather than manipulate candidates.
