    The daily loop

    JIG isn't a toolbox you pull out twice a quarter. It's the surface you open every morning.

    Step 1

    Define your buyer profile and target

    Set criteria you can revise as you learn. Ranges are fine, and so is "not sure yet."

    Step 2

    Build one pipeline across every channel

    Brokers, direct outreach, inbound referrals, broker listings. One board, one source of truth.

    Built for first-time buyers

    Start from zero with a guided profile.

    Walk through what you're looking for in plain English. Ranges are welcome. Revise as your taste sharpens.

    One pipeline across every channel.

    Brokers, direct outreach, inbound. Every conversation in one place so nothing slips and pace is visible.

    Open it every morning and know what to do.

    Today shows one next action with the reason it's next, then your short list. No backlog dump.

    When you're ready to analyze a specific deal, supporting analytical tools live in the app: JigAI for the questions you can't Google, ValueJig for the number you can defend, plus calculators for earnings, debt service, and working capital.

    JIG works inside Claude and ChatGPT

    Connect your account once and log visits, calls, and follow-ups by telling your assistant what happened. Ask for your full history with an owner before you call them. Your pipeline stays current without opening the app.
