the bench

One bench. Every founder decision.

Not prompts, not pep talks. Each tool runs your situation against a defined judgment standard and hands back the read a veteran cofounder would give you: what to fix, what to skip, when to stop.

Prefer answers to a specific question instead?

Idea to exit. Or idea to income.

Every founder meets these five questions. Only the ending differs, which is why the line above names two. Nothing below is locked to a step, so start anywhere: what carries between tools is your own context, and what one read learns the next already knows.
