As Dustin wraps up the 90-day experiment called Project Prometheus, what was the final assessment? Was it successful? The goal was to see if one appraiser could make more than $100,000 a year, work less than 40 hours a week, and do so without staff using AI as the muscle. In this podcast, Dustin breaks down the honest answer: what worked, what didn't, and what was the overall result? More importantly, where do we go from here?
