## The businesses

### Recouped (the product)

- Tagline: Find the money that quietly went missing.
- Site: https://recouped.io
- Page: https://www.thegoodstudio.io/ventures/recouped
- Facts: Free 3-month review; You keep 100% of recoveries; Bank-grade traceability

Recouped reconciles what you were owed against what actually arrived, documents every gap line by line, and hands you the claim. Flat monthly fee, and every recovered dollar is yours.
I spent the first eight years of my career running recs at banks and fintechs. It’s an unglamorous but necessary part of business.
With everyone rushing to add AI wherever they can, I purposely built this to use AI at key points instead of adding it just to add it. For example, the entire reconciliation process is deterministic end to end. There’s no reason to have AI do math problems when formulas do them better anyway.

### Digital Sprint Studio (the client work)

- Tagline: AI and automation that actually works.
- Site: https://digitalsprintstudio.com
- Page: https://www.thegoodstudio.io/ventures/digital-sprint
- Facts: From $1,500/mo flat; 1-month trial; No lock-in

The agency arm. Custom AI and automation systems, built, hosted, and maintained so clients never think about infrastructure. The toolset is picked per engagement, around what the business already runs and who I am working with.
Flat monthly fee, first month is a trial, and clients can take ownership of their builds anytime.
The early idea was that a product would fall straight out of this: build enough automations and one of them generalizes into something sellable. That part was wrong. A build is shaped around one business and does not lift cleanly to the next.
What does carry over is the problems. The same handful keep turning up in companies with nothing else in common. This is where I hear them first, and hearing them first is how Recouped happened.
