This is my first time learning of the term Building In Public. However a few weeks ago I discovered and fell in love with the GitLab Handbook, and the term I've been using to proselytize to my teammates (lol) was "Open Source Company" or "Documentation as Company."

Of course, GitLab doesn't share everything, and certainly not Money as a Dashboard (you will find live dashboards scattered throughout the Handbook, though). As with most things I've read, they are very transparent and intentional about the decisions they've made to make certain data public vs. limited access vs. internal.

Open Sourcing accounting internals about a for-profit business always seemed to me a non-starter. Interesting that other companies have experimented with that business model
