The Tight Bucket

The book uses TightBucket, a website "revenue-leak" auditing service built in three days in October 2026 by its owner working with AI coding agents, as a running case. TightBucket had not launched commercially at the time of writing: it had taken no payments, so the book reports design, governance and measured operating data, not commercial results. TightBucket was commissioned by the same owner who commissions the work of Jacaranda Labs Think Tank; it is a bounded case, not an independent evaluation. Research findings, measured facts about the case, and proposed frameworks are labelled separately.
