14th & Co.
Working sample · REC DR-GW-01

For Gitwit · Operating Partner, Bentonville · a working sample

You're staffing a studio. Watch me run it.

Two jobs: find the signal, then run the engine that turns it into companies. Here's both — on ground my firm knows cold: building net-new at enterprise scale, where Gitwit builds.

Act I
A run
Discovery on a real problem — live, in three touches.

How I'd operate the room and grow builders in it.
Act IA run · last-mile delivery ops → the next move
01

Ops runs on exceptions.

A last-mile delivery market runs on exceptions in real time — a route breaks, a driver drops offline, a delivery fails, volume surges, weather hits. The ops lead firefights from a dozen screens. The one failure that cascades is buried in the noise — and every minute is a missed drop.

THE SIGNAL · 0 DROPS AT RISK · CASCADING

FIG. 01 — THE NOISE. Every square is an exception with no system behind it. The job isn't more alerts — it's the one cascade that takes 184 drops down with it.

02

Turn the firehose into the next move.

Not another dashboard. An agent reads the live ops signal — routes, drivers, ETAs, failures — and hands the ops lead the three moves that matter right now. Run it:

Last-mile ops · live · 14:30341 EXCEPTIONS · UNRESOLVED
Zone 7 cascade — a broken route is dragging 40 stops late, and it's spreading.On-time is about to fall across the whole zone, not one route. This is the 184.Reroute now
Driver 12 dropped offline mid-shift — 18 drops orphaned.Two nearest drivers have slack. Reassign before the window closes.Reassign
14 customers about to miss their window.Notify + reslot proactively — before they call and it becomes a refund.Get ahead of it

THE TELL — 14th & Co. We don't research this. Chelsa builds net-new operating solutions inside Walmart Last Mile Delivery right now — and did it at Rivian and Carvana. Corey's built for Lyft, Uber Eats, and Rivian. I co-founded Wyzerr (Walmart / Kroger). Enterprise operations at scale is our home turf, not a market we studied.

03

The delta, honestly.

A missed window isn't one drop — it's the refund, the re-attempt, the churned customer. The wedge is the gap between firefighting and the move.

Firefight · caught late · ~9% of the cascade savedat-risk drops recovered

FIG. 03 — RECOVERY. Toggle it. Firefight: you find the cascade after it's cost you. The move: the system hands it to you while you can still act.

The turn

That was one run.
A studio is the engine.

One problem, one run. A studio is that loop run 15+ times a year — and builders don't watch it, they learn by being inside it. That's the other half of the job: operating the room.

Act IIThe studio · how I'd run Bentonville
01

Run the operating week.

A studio in Bentonville only works as one team with Tulsa. I own the cadence — the run is the curriculum (your words: the work is the program). And this isn't a proposal: it's how 14th & Co already runs — a shared operating system with a clear line between what an agent does, what's AI-assisted, and what a human owns.

Why 14th & Co runs it.

I run the room. The firm behind me has built net-new at enterprise scale across the exact operations Gitwit mines — we live in the mess, we don't study it.

The ask

Give me your real problem — and your studio to run it in.

The discovery half you just ran: noise → signal → the move. The operating half: that loop every week, builders learning inside it, Tulsa one step away. I run the studio — and I don't come alone. That's the work I want.

Hand me a real one and I'll run it with your team — and walk you through the operating week in person.
