🧠 The Setup
The CEO claimed I lacked 'vision' for the project I built, sidelining me for a protégé. They were sure I'd accept the demotion.

📁 The Counter-Play
I executed a strategic intellectual property move, having filed the IP under my LLC using a legal carve-out clause. Their demo prep became my silent countdown to justice.

⚖️ The Endgame
The board's demo crashed without my credentials. Forced to confront the paperwork, they offered equity, but I leveraged this for a career endgame execution—founding my own company.
