Notes from the field · Updated September 22, 2026
Marketing for marketers, written down as we learn it.
Most of what marketers report is not what moved the business. Every page here carries its numbers with their basis, says whether we have run it on real accounts, and gets retired in public when we stop doing it.

Start here
Playbooks
Procedures. When to use it, what you need first, the steps, what to measure, where it breaks.
Notes
Dated observations from accounts. What we saw, and what it changed about how we think.
Tools
The thing itself, on the page. Run your own numbers before you talk to anyone.
Definitions
Short pages that make the rest coherent. The tightest writing on the site.
Numbers
What we track, and how to read it.
Retired
We stopped, and say why.
- Turn an SEO audit into a sprint your team can actually ship
- Monitor your marketing tests in real time without calling the result too early
- Connect AI to your marketing reporting without losing the ability to check it
- Build a weekly marketing report that leads to a decision
- The numbers behind the decisions: CM3, ROAS, MER, and other marketing definitions
- Why we put CM3 ahead of ROAS
