CascadeGTM · Field notes and tools

The AI era of go-to-market, in writing and working tools.

I am a GTM strategist and revenue engineer. I write about where AI is reshaping go-to-market, and I build the tools to put it to work. Everything below is live, and the tools run on plain static pages with the intelligence wired in.

Open Source AI Tools

Interactive demo

GTM Prospecting Engine

A signal-driven prospecting command center. It surfaces growth-stage companies the moment a GTM hire or a new CRO/CMO signals intent, ranks them by how fresh that signal is, and drafts the outreach with Claude — every message reviewed and approved by a human before it sends. The kind of system a GTM engineer ships, not a deck about one.

LLM-powered

The Agent Cost Model

Model what a centralized GTM agent costs to run: users, runs, tokens, model tier, caching, platform and upkeep, in plain language. Ships with demo data, exports a CFO-ready PDF and spreadsheet, and can sanity-check itself with Claude.

LLM-powered

Messaging Strategy Engine

Listen to a segment — what GTM engineers, CROs, or CFOs are actually discussing on Reddit, X, and the web — rank the top topics, and turn each into on-message content with your CTA built in. Bring your own API key.

Open the engine →
LLM-powered

SDR Messaging Engine

Build an AI twin of a buyer, then write or paste your own email and workshop it against their point of view, round by round, until the twin says yes, they would reply. Bring your own API key.

LLM-powered

The Editorial Pipeline

An AI-assisted content pipeline for a brand. Type a working title and a one-line thesis, and an LLM workflow shapes the brief: the angle, the audience, the format, and the proof points. Ideas move through stages like revenue through a funnel.

Interactive

Buy / Build / Vibe Code Matrix

Eighteen GTM categories across five funding stages. Every cell is a buy, buy and build on, or build call, with an architecture diagram and the exact build details a GTM engineer would use, tuned to company scale.

Open the matrix →
LLM-powered

Customer Sentiment Dashboard

Import your account data and notes, and watch it score sentiment, stack-rank customers, bucket ARR into Healthy / Fair / At Risk, and roll revenue up by quarter and year. The live counterpart to the CS Revenue Signals playbook. Bring your own API key.

Open the dashboard →
LLM-powered

Sales Discovery Follow-Up Engine

Paste a discovery-call transcript and it pulls out the prospect's pains, objections, and value points — then writes the follow-up email and builds an on-brand recap page you can preview and download. Bring your own API key.

Open the engine →

Each tool here is a single static file with no backend. The messaging, SDR, and follow-up engines call a model directly from the browser to write outreach, the sentiment dashboard scores an imported book of accounts, the matrix is a self-contained interactive, and the prospecting engine runs a full agentic outreach workflow on mock data. This is the kind of fast, owned tooling I build for GTM teams.
