A "Cash Cow in Ten Years" — What My AI Operations Secretary Will Do for Me

Writing from a ten-year vantage point

This is Chapter L’s closing post. Today: where I want Tasukiba to land in ten years, and how that connects to my own life.

The series so far has covered the philosophy and origin (Chapter A), the product (Chapter B), community and culture (Chapter K), the roadmap (Chapter L’s first half). I want one post for the long-arc picture that runs underneath all of it.

Ten years out, as a service

In ten years, I want Tasukiba to be a “cash cow” producing stable revenue. Concretely:

Holding a firm position in a niche market
A unique posture: business SaaS + community
High user satisfaction, low churn
Growing through word of mouth and trust, not sales pressure

Not “hyper-growth IPO.” A “slowly rooted tree.” Same line as “thin and long” in K-4, translated to a ten-year scale.

Where the profits go

Profits from ten years would go to:

Content investment in other services
Capital for new app development
Distribution to members (success-based)
Capital for my own venture

Not into Tasukiba itself. Into the next attempts that Tasukiba enables. That’s the honest version of “the service is a means.”

Ten years out, as an organization

The Tasukiba team in ten years:

Around 3–10 people
Mostly members participating alongside day jobs
Graduation culture is in place; people come and go naturally
Known, by those who know, as a psychologically safe organization

The psychological-safety post’s “reproducible” stage — a live experiment to reach it. That’s the ten-year project I want to run on the Tasukiba team. Partial realization of the personal dream is what I’m drawing.

Ten years out, for me personally

Me, ten years out:

Still in a project manager career as day job
Using Tasukiba daily (Dogfooding continues)
Either decided on founding, or considering it
Stepping toward building a psychologically safe company

Tasukiba is the means, not the end. The knowledge, revenue, network, and confidence built through it become fuel for the next attempt. The “I’m aiming at PM” and “I want to build a psychologically safe organization” threads from series part 1 meet here.

On founding

This service may end up triggering a decision to found a company.

The company I’d want to build:

An environment where developers can work long-term without burning out
A culture that doesn’t fear failure, with One For All inside
Both business-direct value and community value
No forced growth, day-job-first respected

— I want to bring Tasukiba’s team culture directly into how the company runs.

K-3’s “One For All” and K-2’s “equal-founders model” are, in that sense, drafts of how a company would run.

Branching to multiple services

A multi-service future is also in scope.

Tasukiba: cash cow
New app 1: AI-driven development
New app 2: another domain
…

Rather than pouring Claude Code resources into Tasukiba forever, redirect them to other services once Tasukiba is on rails. AI-driven capacity rolls forward. My “things I want to build” chain themselves.

Tasukiba as someone else’s “next step”

Another personal dream: I want Tasukiba to be the trigger for:

A co-developer’s first commercial-service experience
A user’s first improvement in workflow efficiency
A reader’s first attempt at building their own SaaS

— a place that keeps creating those moments.

I’d love it if this series carried a small part of that too. “A place to meet what you want to do” in A-2 was written about the service, but it’s also a wish for the readers of these posts.

To those who’ve made it this far

Thank you, genuinely, for reading this far through the first half of the series.

Tasukiba isn’t a perfect service, and isn’t a hyper-growth service. It’s a quiet thing born from personal frustration, built to be something I use every day.

Even so:

Not letting past assets stay buried
Returning creative time to humans
Building psychologically safe organizations

— I want to build these values together.

Release was June 1, 2026. After release, come say hi on Discord.

”Your turn”

To close the first half:

If reading these 17 posts has nudged you to:

Start indie development
Put your own service out
Build a psychologically safe team

— please take the next step.

That’s how I started Tasukiba, too. I genuinely hope the next attempt becomes a service that creates value for someone.

The series moves into bonus chapters (Chapter M) next. Coming up: how the Tasuki Owl was selected from four candidates.
