How is this different from a UX audit?

It is less polite and more useful. No heuristic checklists, no jargon: a recording of a real person hitting real friction, with a ranked list of what to fix. You watch users leave, then stop it.

Will you tear down a product that is not launched yet?

Yes, staging links and prototypes work fine. Pre-launch is actually the cheapest time to hear hard truths, because nothing is locked in yet.

What if we disagree with your findings?

The recording is the evidence: you watch where we hesitated and judge for yourself. We also rank confidence honestly, separating clear losses from judgment calls you are free to overrule.

Service 088 of 100

Get an honest teardown of your product from people who ship for a living

The Build Studio at CEOism records an honest walkthrough of your product, showing exactly where it loses users, with fixes ranked, at a price you name. We go through your product the way a real first-time user does, on camera, narrating where we hesitate, where we get confused, and where we would leave. Then we rank every issue by how much it costs you and how cheap it is to fix, so you spend your next month on the five changes that matter instead of the forty that do not. The perspective comes from shipping 47 live apps of our own and tearing them down just as bluntly. You name the price; we tell you what depth of teardown it buys.

How it works

1
Tell us what you need
One email. Describe the thing in your own words, plain language is perfect, and say the number that feels fair to you.
2
We build, you watch it become real
We reply honestly with what your number gets, then we build. You see the live thing take shape, not a slide about it.
3
You name the price
The price you set is the price. When it ships, it is live on a real domain and it is yours: code, keys, everything.

Service 088 · three takes

The films we shoot for this one

These are the scripts we actually film, published openly. Plain text is spoken out loud. Anything in the marked panels is for the camera or the screen behind us and is never read aloud. Three takes of the same service, so we can pick the one that fits where the film is going. The first is open below. Open the other two to read them.

Where people leave

Opens inside the worry this service answers, and takes its time. Made for someone who already has this problem in mind, so it fits this page and it fits an audience that already knows us.

People arrive at your product and some of them are gone within a minute. You have the number. You do not have the moment.

Where we hesitate

Names the service in the first breath instead of hiding it behind a hook, then offers to build it. It puts the barriers on the floor: you name the price, and not knowing how any of it works is our job rather than yours. It also makes the promise most people never get, that we stay with the thing until it is real. Made for someone who has been carrying this idea around for a long time and needs to hear that somebody will actually take it on.
