Twenty years of ecommerce experience, on tap. An AI mentor that knows your business — your sites, your numbers, your niche — and teaches using your actual data.

No. 02 · The course

The 11-module onboarding course.

Zero to running AI skills — even if you've never opened a terminal. Step-by-step video walkthroughs and hands-on exercises on your own business. You'll have your first working skill before Module 5.

No. 03 · The methodology

The Slingshot Framework.

Seven interconnected areas of ecommerce growth — Sell, Story, Tech Stack, Marketing, Optimise, Experience, Growth — plus the FUEL marketing matrix, the Product Quadrant, the Story Overlap, and research-backed playbooks. A structured system built from two decades of building and selling ecommerce businesses.

No. 04 · The archive

The EP Knowledge Base.

Every eCommerce Podcast episode — 283 of them and counting — tagged against the Slingshot Framework and searchable by topic, guest, FUEL stage and skill. Ask SAM “who talked about referral marketing?” and get specific episodes with one-sentence takeaways. New episodes added weekly.

No. 05 · The weekly habit

The EP Weekly Brief.

Each week SAM analyses the latest EP episode against your business and gives you three concrete actions — then coaches you through the two Slingshot questions: Does it move the needle? and Can I consistently execute this at 8/10?

Why this works the way it does

You own the tools, not the agency fees.

I could have built another web app. I didn't — because the tools work better, cost less and teach you more if they run on your machine.

The tools

Skills run on your machine

Unlimited runs on your own Claude subscription. No SaaS, no per-use anxiety, no extra logins.

Personalised to your business

SAM knows your company, your sites, your niche, your numbers. Everything's tailored — not generic.

Build your own skills

Module 4 of the onboarding course teaches you to turn any repeatable process into a skill of your own.

The system

Agency-quality output

Brand Voice Pro produces what agencies charge £2k+ for. Moby replaces £500 mobile audits. Run them as often as you like.

A living system that compounds

SAM's brain grows. EP Knowledge updates weekly. The longer you're a member, the more valuable it gets.

Your customisations are protected

Every skill has a custom/ folder that survives updates. Tweak SAM's voice, adjust scoring rules — yours forever.

Matt Edmundson
Included with every membership

A 1:1 onboarding call with me.

When you join, you book a call with me — Matt. I'll personally walk you through SAM, answer your questions, and show you exactly how to use the whole stack on your business. Not a sales pitch. Not a generic walkthrough. A real working session on your actual data.

  • I walk you through SAM — live, on your business
  • You ask me anything — about SAM, the skills, or your strategy
  • We pick the first skills that'll actually move your needle
  • You leave the call knowing exactly where to start

Every member gets this. No upsell. No “premium tier” required.

Honest qualification

Is this for you?

This is for you if…

  • You're an ecommerce founder doing £100k–£5M+ and want to use AI but don't know where to start
  • You've tried ChatGPT or Claude but want structured tools, not just chat
  • You'd rather own the tools than pay an agency every month
  • You listen to the eCommerce Podcast and want to go deeper than just listening
  • You're a systems thinker — SOPs, playbooks, processes
  • You're AI-curious but the technical barrier feels intimidating

Probably not, if…

  • You want a done-for-you service (you run the tools, I provide them)
  • You're not willing to spend 2–3 hours on the onboarding course
  • You expect a magic button (AI is powerful, but you still need to direct it)
Matt Edmundson
Built from 20 years in the trenches

I didn't build this from a textbook.

I've been building, buying and running ecommerce businesses for over two decades. I've hosted 283+ episodes of the eCommerce Podcast interviewing the founders behind some of the world's most successful online stores. Vegetology. Seven Yays. Ventures before them — including one that cost me £38 million in lessons about what not to do.

The Slingshot Framework comes from those conversations and from running real businesses. Every skill in the library is something I use in my own businesses. If it doesn't work on real data, it doesn't ship.

Questions you might have

The bits I usually get asked.

What tools do I need?+

The skills run on Claude (Anthropic). You'll need a Claude subscription — $20/month for the basic plan is enough to get started. Beyond that, everything else in the stack is free. The onboarding course walks you through setting it up. No prior AI experience needed.

I'm not technical. Can I really do this?+

Yes. The onboarding course starts from scratch — it gets you set up with Claude and the free tools, then walks you through your first skill. Claude does the installation for you, explaining as it goes. You don't need to code. And SAM teaches the methodology in plain English using your actual business data.

Why isn't this a website I just log into?+

I could have built a web app — but it would have been worse for you. A web app means ongoing subscriptions, limited runs and generic output. The way this works, the skills run on your machine using Claude (~$20/month — which you'll use for far more than just these skills). That means no extra per-use costs, unlimited runs, and much better output because everything runs in the context of your full business.

Is this just fancy prompts?+

No. These are complete AI workflows with playbooks, scoring rubrics and step-by-step methodology. A prompt gives you a generic answer; a skill analyses your actual business data, applies a proven framework, and produces specific, actionable output. SAM teaches you the thinking behind it so you understand why — not just what.

How quickly will I see results?+

Your first skill takes about 30 minutes to set up. You'll see real output — specific to your business — on your first run. Most members start with the mobile audit (Moby), which produces a full report on your site within minutes.

What happens after I join?+

Instant access. Book your 1:1 setup call with me, start the onboarding course, browse the skills catalogue, install your first skill. You'll be running your first skill the same day you join.

Can I get a refund?+

Yes. 30-day no-hassle refund. If it’s not for you, full refund. No awkward conversations.

Ready when you are.

One-off, no monthly anything, 30-day refund. Includes the 1:1 setup call with me.
