2026-05-09 PJ-coined. The structural humor of the dual-function v0.1 client model: SideGuy charges premium to deliver client INDEPENDENCE — the opposite of agency lock-in. "Pay me once, take the pattern, never need me again." Clients pay for permanent freedom from SideGuy. Agencies sell forever-dependency, SideGuy sells clean exit. Referral flywheel works BECAUSE no lock-in.
The punchline is "they don't have to talk to PJ again." The follow-through is they WANT to anyway. Because you gave them clean freedom, they choose to come back — for the next thing, the adjacent problem, the second opinion, the referral introduction.
Read the doctrine. Apply it on the next ship cycle.
