## Case Studies

- [From 500-Article Backlog to Automated Pipeline](https://francisj2nd.cv/cs/500-article-machine): A 500-article SEO mandate, two AI providers, three-tier PDF extraction, and a Word-doc formatter. Throughput went from ~8/hr manual to 150–200/hr hands-off.

- [Boolean X-ray Search: Lead Cost $2 → $0.05](https://francisj2nd.cv/cs/boolean-xray-search): Traditional lead gen tools filter pre-scraped databases. I built a scraper using Google's Discovery Engine that searches the actual web with surgical precision — and cut lead costs by 97%.

- [The 300-Email Wall: How a Marketing Blast Became a Backend System](https://francisj2nd.cv/cs/300-email-wall): A 1,000+ user announcement, a 300/day API ceiling, and a marketing brief that quietly turned into a stateful, resumable engineering project.

- [The Onboarding Ghost: Engineering a Java Email Bot from Nothing](https://francisj2nd.cv/cs/fixme-onboarding-system): No welcome email. No confirmation. No system. How I went from a blank slate to a resilient Java Spring Boot service that now forms the foundation of customer onboarding at Fixme.

- [Finding the Real Problem Before Writing a Line of Code](https://francisj2nd.cv/cs/emitroll-payroll-validation): The hypothesis was operational friction. The signal said compliance fear. How two rounds of structured discovery — qualitative outreach and a head-to-head ad test — found the real entry point for Emitroll before a single line of product code was written.

- [Forum Posts as Validation Evidence](https://francisj2nd.cv/cs/forum-posts-as-signal): Primary outreach to US freight carriers stalled. So we turned to forum posts — and built a method rigorous enough to trust the answer. 12 Tier 1 signals. 3 platforms. Zero contradicting evidence from counter-searches.
