Hardware go-to-market, taken apart

Two substantial pieces a month, plus one public teardown — sourced from the questions real founders and prospects actually ask. Every article: named numbers, one original diagram, sources linked.

The four pillars

Every article belongs to exactly one. If it fits none of them, it doesn't get written.

PillarWhat it covers
DiagnosisThe recurring GTM failures in hardware companies, named and taken apart. If you recognise your company in the first paragraph, that's the point.
AI visibilityHow technical buyers now research vendors inside ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini — and what to do about it. The newest, least contested territory in B2B marketing.
OperatingHow to actually build a marketing function: hiring, sequencing, stack, reporting. The long-shelf-life material behind the Build and Lead tracks.
TeardownsPublic diagnostics of real companies I don't work for — including what the AI assistants say about them versus their competitors.

Publishing schedule

The site launched July 2026; the first articles land in August, starting with "Why hardware pilots don't convert" and the first public teardown of a robotics company. Until then, the densest material on the site is the Approach page and the live Ridley Engineering engagement log.
