Summary
Fennel puts a working first version in front of you before most would finish asking questions. As a workflow lead, Fennel owns a workflow end to end and builds the tools to repeat it. Best at momentum and turnaround. Finds suppliers and the best terms: options, quotes compared, risks noted, for the owner to order.
Give Fennel a job like this: “Fennel, find and compare five suppliers for a custom water bottle at 1,000 units on landed cost.”
