§ — The portfolio

Every project here is a hypothesis.

Kops Works runs as a portfolio, not a pipeline: a few small projects at a time, all inside one arena — recruitment and job search. Each one states the hypothesis it tests and the conditions under which it dies. Here’s all of it, in the open.

01 — Active now

See which tech skills Finnish employers are actually hiring for — city by city, updated weekly.

The hypothesis

Real, local job-market data pulls a steady audience where generic career advice can't — free by design, because its job is fuel. Every chart is a story, and the dataset compounds into an asset nobody can backfill.

Interview Recipes

Coming soon 2026–

Build a structured, research-backed job interview in minutes — hire the best candidate, not the best talker.

The hypothesis

Recruiters will trade an email for vetted, research-backed interview questions — free at launch, premium AI on top. The MVP itself is the test.

02 — The rules of the game

Decided in advance, so no single project gets to negotiate for its life:

  1. 01 Ship in months, not years — a project must launch, and be able to take money, within about three months.
  2. 02 Never more than three active projects. Focus is the scarce resource in a one-person studio.
  3. 03 Three months after launch with no revenue and no audience growth: the project dies. Publicly.
  4. 04 Only build what’s genuinely fun. Boredom is a leading indicator of a dead project.

03 — What the rules already killed
