◆ Case · ShortList full run

Sam Heckler

Healthcare marketing · April 2026

$85K offer. $25K over the ceiling Sam thought existed. He ran four roles through ShortList — the confidence score told him which one to focus on, and the exact-phrase prompts went into the panel almost verbatim.

◆ Case · ShortList + Groundwork

Financial services marketing · April 2026

Pinnacle Financial role secured. Four months on her own, getting nowhere. Two ShortLists later, the offer was in hand — and Groundwork was on her desk before her start date. Day one looked like day forty.

◆ Case · ShortList + Coaching

◆ Client engagements · Proof Layer

The other side of the practice.

ShortList serves individual searches. The Proof Layer serves company-side engagements — operating intelligence dashboards, transparent analytics, the math behind the strategy. One client live, one in flight.

"First operating-intelligence dashboard delivered. Day one, I knew what to fix. Day thirty, my board knew what to ask. The math was right and the math was visible — that's the part most agencies hide."
Cynthia Haebe · First MCP client homebase · Shipped April 22, 2026

Insight Analytics engagement (Proof Layer first run) is in flight as of May 2026. Public portions to be released after sign-off.
