Freiberg’s company will successfully deploy an internally built replacement for a $5,000‑per‑seat‑per‑year vertical software tool in Q1 2024.

Explanation

Public sources recount David Friedberg’s anecdote that an engineer at his company replicated a $5,000‑per‑seat‑per‑year vertical data‑management tool and that they planned to roll out this internal replacement in Q1 2024.(podscripts.co) Later analyses of his “vertical software” prediction by Euclid Ventures and Reformation Partners retell the same story but only as originally described on the podcast; they do not mention whether the internal tool was actually deployed or when.(insights.euclid.vc) A broader search for updates from Friedberg, Ohalo, or related entities likewise turns up no confirmation of a successful rollout, failure, delay, or open‑sourcing of the tool.(ohalo.co) Because this concerns an internal system and there is no public follow‑up on its implementation timeline, the real‑world outcome of the “Q1 2024 rollout” prediction cannot be determined from available evidence, even though enough time has passed. Therefore the result is ambiguous, not verifiably right or wrong.
