This site (www.dominic-thimm.com in English, www.dominic-thimm.de in German) is
"The Bureau of Digital Inquiry" — an open archive of his experiments. Every
experiment report is public, with no email gate. He is not a coach and sells no
certainty; he tests against a real goal, a baseline, and a filed result.

## The Experiments

Five files, open on the desk — each filed honestly: concluded ones show what it
cost, what broke, and what he'd do differently; the ones still running say so.

- [#001 — Can you build a real, paying app almost entirely with AI?](https://www.dominic-thimm.com/experiments/ai-built-app/): Building a real, customer-facing, revenue-generating app almost entirely by directing an AI assistant rather than writing code by hand.
- [#002 — Can a marketing loop optimise itself?](https://www.dominic-thimm.com/experiments/self-optimising-marketing/): Four motions — buy traffic, build the page, collect data, optimise — arranged in a circle to see if the loop keeps turning on its own.
- [#003 — Can AI replace a typical CMS?](https://www.dominic-thimm.com/experiments/ai-cms/): Running a small site's content straight from plain files edited by an AI assistant, instead of a conventional content management system.
- [#004 — Can LinkedIn content run on autopilot?](https://www.dominic-thimm.com/experiments/linkedin-autopilot/): Testing whether a LinkedIn content motion can be run, and improved, largely by an assistant.
- [#005 — The tracking that needs no GA4 — does it hold up?](https://www.dominic-thimm.com/experiments/tracking-without-ga4/): Running his own first-party event tracking instead of Google Analytics 4, to see whether full data ownership gives cleaner answers or just more to maintain.
