Open seats: Closer and Operator
Three teams tested it for free. Nobody has asked them to pay yet. It needs someone who can sell to a busy operations manager, and someone who gets each new site live without the crew on the call.
- Goal for 30 days in Orbit
- 3 paid pilots with multi-site teams
- Time it needs from you
- 10–15 hours a week
- A typical first week
- Closer: Call the three teams that tested Shiftswap for free and ask what it saved them. Use those answers to price a pilot, then pitch one multi-site operations manager.
- Operator: Pick one testing team and take it to a second site without the crew on the call. Write down every step that stalled the rollout.
The patch for this Orbit
The patch is stamped on day 30 with the real number. The goal to beat: 3 paid pilots with multi-site teams.
Every seat is a residency. How residency works

- Pool for later hires: 10%
From the crew
“We studied shift swaps over group chat and concluded they cause measurable human suffering. We fixed the software part.”
