Hey Product Hunters, Gerrard here, and I'm excited to bring Clarity OS to this community. Landmark Labs started from my own struggles working as a freelancer. I began that journey writing $3/500 word articles out of college, then eventually working my way up through content strategy, into brand strategy until surprisingly being offered a CMO role with a London-based tech startup. And while I'm grateful for the trajectory I followed, I'm also convinced that key parts of my story are as much to do with luck as anything else. At every step of the journey, I was left to figure out entirely new processes for my business from scratch (let alone learning the actual domain knowledge of the real work being delivered). I would put off doing my own accounting; send pre-cooked proposals; not keep track of leads; not really plan my work day; not know my real hourly rate; have no online presence; have no marketing plan; send out random experiments without collecting data; spend months on projects that I never added to my portfolio... all of this while reading all sorts of incredibly useful content and despite 'knowing better'. Basically, it was always a time trade off; and 'business process' always lost out to doing the actual work or scampering for more opportunities. If I had at any moment actually considered myself a business, I would have been failing in almost every category. When I finally did start considering myself a business, I noticed that the most successful implementations were from common frameworks--the stuff I tried to reinvent from scratch was fun, but rarely a gamechanger. Really, all I needed was a quick way to onboard tried and tested methods and systems to help my business run smoothly... and there wasn't really a single place I could go to find all that. This is where the idea for Landmark Labs started to take shape. A one-stop digital shop for all solo business parts, models and processes. Why does it matter? Despite my own struggles as a freelancer, I also know it's an incredibly rare and recent opportunity to be able to work and live as I do; I want to help more people feel confident starting and sustaining their own businesses. I'm not talking about unicorns. I'm talking about the incredible opportunity to start a modest business you can own, cultivate and be passionate about in this digital era. Clarity OS, in its current form, is the best version I could manage to actually ship an all-in-one system for running a solo business. As it happens; I've shipped it in Notion, with several other tools embedded to help. I'm new to this platform, and eager to get your feedback and learn what I can from this community. Very open to suggestions and ways that Clarity OS or the Landmark Labs concept/implementation could be improved for product and business builders such as yourselves. And hopefully, if there's something here, to move forward in building this out into a platform that reduces friction to business building and maintenance for many going forward. Thanks, Gerrard
