The two jobs inside ProfileScribe’s abandoned network idea

Source-backed profiles and agent-managed discovery are two different jobs; combining them made ProfileScribe’s professional network idea too broad.

In “ProfileScribe postmortem: why I am killing the automated professional network idea,” I explain why I abandoned that approach. The profile concept could organize evidence of someone’s work, but adding discovery made a second promise without clarifying the core job. For me, the useful product question is which one of those jobs is worth building around—not whether both can fit in the same concept.
