The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Savage Scaling Framework

Reusability

A rapid content/product scaling approach that prioritizes volume and speed over perfection to dominate a market category quickly

How It Works

Works by finding a proven format, then producing at maximum theoretical capacity rather than industry-standard pace, accepting lower individual quality for massive volume advantage

Components

1

Validate that your format/product works with audience

2

Calculate theoretical maximum production capacity

3

Build systems for consistent output at that capacity

4

Accept 'good enough' quality standards

5

Focus on distribution/SEO rather than perfection

6

Scale team around volume production, not craftsmanship

When to Use

When you've validated product-market fit, competition is limited, and the market rewards volume/presence over perfection

When Not to Use

In quality-sensitive markets, when brand reputation is critical, or when you lack systems to maintain baseline quality at scale

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Perfectionist paralysis while competitors scaleTrying to maintain artisanal quality at massive scaleScaling team before validating the formatFocusing on social media metrics instead of core distribution

Example

Parcast bootstrapped to 40 weekly True Crime podcasts in 2 years, generating 100M downloads by hiring voice actors and pumping out volume rather than crafting perfect episodes
