ideas

a list of ideas for stuff I wish existed:

• a marketplace for tacit knowledge: where you pay to shadow people to learn hard-to-explain of their craft. for instance, sign an nda and pay to watch someone do a high-stakes negotiation or watch a writer write something end-to-end.

• quest-based hiring: rather than interviews and cases, after a conversation, pay someone to come work in your office for a week and give them a quest with clear objective. Job-havers could do this too, as a way to learn. [I know secondments exist and some companies like Gumloop already do this as a part of their hiring but this would be more candidate driven]

• track changes and grade privacy policies and explain them in simple terms and extrapolate risks. For instance, a companies incentives or monetization model aligns with them selling to data brokers or leaking. Inspired by: https://cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/so-what-if-they-have-my-data
