Senior practitioners.
Zero fluff.
Project Wrecked was built by AI and CRM consultants with 20+ years delivering enterprise projects — Salesforce implementations, AI transformations, CRM rollouts across financial services, retail, and the public sector.
Every tool in the shop was built to solve a problem we ran into ourselves. Every story in the archive is one we recognise. The Wreck Index exists because we got tired of not having the data.

Practitioners talking about real projects
The system launched. It processed real customer data. It also emailed test records to 14,000 people. Legal was on the call within seven minutes.— Anon · Lead Developer
PM was present for the entire 8-month engagement. Disappeared completely the morning of go-live. Out of office: "On a kayaking trip. Back in 3 weeks." The client called me. I had no answers.— SilentScrum · Senior Consultant
"We just need one quick tweak." Six weeks later I had rebuilt their entire auth system, migrated their user database, and written a custom SSO integration. No change order. No apology.— ScopeCreepSurvivor · Full-Stack Contractor
