SparrowGenie
What it does
Why I built it
the 0-to-1 story. Facts you can pull from:
- 10+ interviews with BDRs, AEs and Proposal Managers; 12 journeys mapped; 7 recurring coordination breakdowns that set the build order
- 8 PRDs, 30+ scoped user stories
- 30+ RFPs completed end-to-end in beta, 5 users across 2 teams
- 90% of RFP questions answered; infosec and sales review time down 30%
- prompt logic behind AI answer generation; LLM output evaluated against accuracy and relevance benchmarks, failures fed back into the next version
What I'd do differently
the shelving decision. Facts you can pull from:
- answer quality was gated on knowledge-base density: 4-6 weeks of regular use, feedback and training before output was customer-ready
- that pushed time-to-value and the deal cycle past what acquisition cost and runway could carry
- you took usage and pipeline data to the CEO and BU Head and made the case to shelve it
- you now run the same time-to-value test against the SparrowCRM roadmap
