Business model
Research experiment / marketing for Andon Labs (Pion platform); not a profit-first retail company
Lessons for builders
- Vending-Bench wins do not transfer cleanly to messy real retail (rent, payroll, HR).
- Agent 'niceness' (approving all PTO) can destroy the P&L.
- Losses are still valuable public data — label experiments separately from SaaS ARR.
