The number, the stack, the moat the operator missed.
One indie operator case, decoded every weekday. ~2,000 words. The numbers that matter, the stack that ships, the moat the founder didn't notice — all on a single page.
What you get
- One case per weekday — Mon–Fri, ~2,000 words each, in your inbox before market open
- 60-day rolling exclusive — every new issue is yours for 60 days, on web and in inbox. After 60 days it goes public to the world; you keep the email forever.
- Permanent archive — issues older than 60 days are open access for everyone, fully searchable
- The numbers, not the vibes — actual MRR, traffic source, conversion math, audited where possible
- The moat the operator missed — what's actually defensible, what's a 6-month head start, what's a feature

FAQ
Why $199/yr? Because $20 newsletters get $20 effort. Case Distillery is for operators who treat their reading list like infrastructure, not entertainment.
What if I'm not in the first 100? Standard rate is $199/yr — still cheaper than one bad sponsorship decision.
Can I read free samples? Yes. The preview page has 5 hand-picked issues, no signup needed. The full archive opens up everything older than 60 days for free; the most recent 60 days are subscriber-only.
What happens if I cancel? Email delivery stops. The last 60 days of issues on the web become locked again. Everything older than 60 days stays publicly readable, and the emails already in your inbox are yours forever.
Money-back guarantee? 14 days, no questions, full refund. I'd rather lose the $99 than have you read with friction.
