Receipts from our own porch.
Real events from porchops's own porch. Lou recovered the recoveries; Inky published the changelog; Hank kept watch. Every event sourced from porchops's own audit log. The day porchops stops running on porchops is the day this page stops being honest.
What the crew shipped this week.
Hand-curated for now; live-counter ISR rebuild lands in week three post-launch. Customer placeholder names (Pegasus, Telos, Bramble) until real consent is wired.

Dale sent the brief, on time
Every quarter, the full retrospective.
On the last day of each quarter, Dale drafts a quarter-close summary from porchops's own audit log: revenue trajectory, top customer signals, biggest shipped changes, what's queued for the next quarter. Travis or Jake publishes the public version here — Stripe-Atlas-format, real numbers, lessons.
First quarterly retrospective ships at end of June 2026. Subscribers to the weekly newsletter get it first; the public link lands a week later.
What broke. What we learned.
The porchops dogfooding loop is honest about what didn't work too. Frankie misclassified a real customer as cold outreach in week two; we corrected, she learned. Lou drafted a recovery in the wrong tone for a long-tenure enterprise customer; Travis edited, the diff trained the voice profile.
We'll publish the named misses in quarterly retrospectives. The audit log is public-by-default in those posts — what failed, what we changed, what stayed fixed. Powered by Beer.
