How 6to9 wins and keeps more founders

Twelve moves, grouped by funnel step and ordered by impact. Each is grounded in a close twin — a real tool that shares 6to9's unusual traits (edits your live site · prompt-to-shipped · growth-experimentation for founders) — not a generic winner. Where a tight twin exists, that's the proof; where it doesn't, we say so.
