What was done

src/data/team.ts — Ryan Benson’s bio field restructured to lead with the dual-role distinction:

  • First paragraph: Introduced the founder role explicitly (“As a founder, he owns and runs ZIG and Project Tracker”), clarified the anchor-tenant relationship with Bailey, and embedded the core philosophy about building tools while using them.
  • Second paragraph: Kept the Head of Intelligence Engineering work (data pipelines, AI/SEO infrastructure) intact, anchored to the platforms he runs.
  • Remaining paragraphs: Preserved the bridge-builder philosophy, operating principle, and Dev.IQ research closing.

Result: Bio now reads as a coherent dual-role narrative rather than listing the platforms first and explaining the roles second.

Why

Ryan’s actual role architecture — founder of intelligence platforms + deployed Head of Engineering at a client firm — is clearer when stated upfront. The embedded-deployment philosophy (“you build better tools when you’re on the hook”) explains why the dual role exists and frames the relationship as intentional design, not accident. This also sets up Bailey’s AI.IQ and SEO infrastructure work as evidence of tools that work in the real world.
