Before vs. After

Before: Reviews scattered across Google Docs, spreadsheets, and notes apps. No tracking. No comparison. No consistency. Half-finished evaluations you never publish.

After: One Notion workspace. Every tool in a pipeline. Every test logged with screenshots and observations. Every comparison built in. Every affiliate program tracked. Every review published consistently.
