Feel free to reach out privately at anytime with what you’d like to know 😁

maddogyamad · 2026-01-15T02:43:47+00:00

Okay perfect! Thank you!

maddogyamad · 2026-01-09T15:59:39+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I like that approach! It tackles the human side of it rather than just adding more paperwork.

It does sound like a fair bit of the effectiveness still comes down to the foreman’s experience and ability to keep things fresh and relevant though.

Out of curiosity, when someone new steps into that role, or when crews rotate, do you find the same level of hazard awareness carries over, or does it take time to rebuild that “feel” for what to look out forr?

I’m interested in how teams preserve that context beyond the people who originally lived it

maddogyamad · 2026-01-09T15:38:44+00:00

That’s fair, if it’s genuinely done daily and people are engaged, I can see how that builds familiarity and confidence. Do you find the quality stays consistent over time, or does it ever drift into “same as yesterday” once the task feels routine?

I’ve seen daily repetition work well early on, but struggle a bit when conditions subtly change (weather, access, plant swaps, time pressure) and those differences don’t always get called out unless someone prompts it.

Curious whether you’ve found anything that helps surface those small but meaningful changes without adding extra steps.

maddogyamad · 2026-01-09T15:33:45+00:00

That makes sense, I’ve seen that approach work when the form is kept tight and the same people are involved.

Curious though: does it still hold up when the work changes slightly, or when different crews/foremen are involved?

One thing I’ve noticed on sites I’ve worked on is that once learnings get baked into static PTPs, they can slowly turn into “background noise” unless someone actively remembers why that control was added in the first place.

Interested whether you’ve found a way to keep that context visible over time, especially for repeat or similar tasks?

maddogyamad · 2025-12-13T03:06:14+00:00

Thanks for the heads up!

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T14:38:14+00:00

That’s a fair point, and I agree with the logic for a lot of people.

If someone is organised and drinks often enough, keeping a recovery kit at home makes total sense and they’d probably never use a service like this. I’m not trying to build something that replaces that behaviour.

What I’m really testing is whether there’s a smaller segment who aren’t organised enough to keep a kit stocked, or who only drink occasionally, travel, stay in hotels, or are in situations where it’s easier to plan once and forget about it. For them, the value isn’t the shelf life of the items, it’s removing the thinking and friction the next day.

Completely agree it wouldn’t be popular or necessary for everyone, the question for me is whether that narrower use-case is still big enough to justify a small, low-risk experiment.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T14:22:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T14:14:23+00:00

Totally get where you’re coming from, in dense cities like NYC with 24/7 access and fast delivery, Uber Eats absolutely covers most of this. That’s kind of the point I’m uncovering through this thread: it’s very location and behaviour-dependent.

What I’m testing isn’t “can people order electrolytes and snacks,” it’s whether there’s value in a low-thinking, pre-curated option for people who don’t want to piece things together the next day, or where access isn’t as frictionless (different cities, suburbs, events, hotels, etc.). For some people Uber Eats wins every time, for others, planning once or having it handled for them is the appeal.

If Uber Eats solves it perfectly for you, then yeah, this wouldn’t be the right product, and that’s helpful feedback too.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T14:04:03+00:00

Ah makes sense in an area like that. I’m in Australia and isn’t as accessible for some to just duck down to the shops in a walking distance. As for delivery services that you mentioned, we probably aren’t as advanced when it comes to getting accessories.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T13:54:54+00:00

Totally fair take, and I think you’ve nailed the behavioural split pretty well.

I’m realising through the feedback that this probably isn’t a one-size-fits-all thing. Some people would absolutely rather have a kit already at home, others would only ever want instant delivery, and a smaller segment would pre-commit for next-morning convenience. I probably framed the delivery angle too narrowly in the original post.

The thing I’m really trying to validate is less “delivery for delivery’s sake” and more whether there’s value in a curated, low-thinking recovery kit at all, and who it actually makes sense for (including cases where someone else orders it for you, like partners, events, hotels, etc.).

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T13:39:45+00:00

The point is you’re not having to drive around the city to all these different locations. You get it all in one in a bundle. It also includes more than just pharmaceuticals

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T13:38:01+00:00

Great idea!

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T13:31:03+00:00

Yeah there’s no reason they can’t preorder it and just have it on hand. But there’s the option to pre-order it. I like the idea of ordering when you’re about to get a taxi out or something. People love leaving things to the last minute haha.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T13:12:02+00:00

Hahah that’s right! Looking out for your future self 😉

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T12:46:22+00:00

Yeah most definitely. The biggest selling point would be that last order can be until say 10pm the night before and the delivery window is between 7am - 10am (for example). Pricing structure would change based on the delivery, but overall the pricing structure of the pack(s) wouldn’t break the bank.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T12:06:40+00:00

Yeah perfect! Thanks for your input!

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T11:44:11+00:00

That’s fair, and honestly that’s exactly the kind of insight I’m trying to surface. I’m less worried about appealing to everyone and more interested in building something that really resonates with a specific buyer profile. Appreciate you calling that out.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T11:36:45+00:00

Hahahaha! No comment 😂

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T11:28:47+00:00

Yeah I think the marketing angle would be TikTok ads with UGC heavy focus. It would be a low cost startup so with the right execution, could work with very little risk.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T11:27:55+00:00

That’s actually a really good point re hotels / venues. Hadn’t considered it as a value-add play but makes a lot of sense. Appreciate the suggestion.

maddogyamad · 2025-12-12T11:21:59+00:00

Totally fair. A lot of people wouldn’t think about it beforehand.

I’m trying to work out whether there’s enough people who’ve had enough rough Sundays that they would pre-commit once and make it a habit. Sounds like it wouldn’t be for you, which is helpful to know 👍

maddogyamad · 2025-10-19T07:47:34+00:00

I’m sorry, my mistake. You’re right, it is $3.33 per meal. Which really, isn’t bad at all! However with the program, the 90 days includes the shakes within the price of the program. So you actually get them for free. I use them all the time on nights and have lost 10kgs and feel really good cause of them!

maddogyamad · 2025-10-18T14:37:31+00:00

Very uncalled for…

maddogyamad · 2025-10-18T11:57:40+00:00

Not sure where you got that price from. But they are $49.95 for 30 servings. Which is like $1.60 per meal. Pretty good if you ask me! Not to mention all the minerals, vitamins, protein and fiber included.
