Operator-Led Studio
Builder,notpitcher.
Founder
Rahman Shafiee
Founder / Builder
“I treat product work like production work: remove noise, find the signal, and ship the thing that changes behavior.”
Manifesto
“I am not building deliverables for approval meetings. I build systems that remove friction from real work.”
A good system should feel obvious after it ships. If it needs a long explanation, it is probably carrying too much.
- Subtraction before addition.
- Prototype before proposal.
- Daily shipping rhythm over long planning cycles.
- Tools must reduce operator friction, not increase it.
What I believe
- • Clarity beats novelty when operations are on the line.
- • Trust comes from visible progress, not polished promises.
- • A product is only valuable when a team can run it daily without ceremony.
How I build
Day 1 scope lock around one measurable workflow.
Day 14 working prototype before long-cycle commitment.
Weekly cadence with explicit acceptance criteria and handoff artifacts.
Who I work with
Education and wellness operators replacing disconnected systems.
Founder-led teams with budget and decision speed.
Leaders who value execution rhythm over long vendor theater.
Proof engines
• 14-day product velocity (EvoWell story)
• AI-native architecture (built by AI, designed for AI to maintain)
• Builder, not pitcher (working prototypes before contracts, CASA approach)
