Choose what to get done
Build an AI Coding Session Brief and Context File
The founder gets a structured session-brief template plus a populated project-context document so each AI coding session executes against fixed architectural guardrails and logs what it changed, preventing the compounding drift the book warns about.
Build an MVP Scope Boundary Contract
The founder gets a structured scope contract that locks the MVP boundary in advance, so zero-friction scope creep is gated by a written evidence test for every excluded feature rather than founder enthusiasm.
Build Founder Equity Contribution-Factor Ledger
A structured ledger that records, per founder, each equity-adjustment factor applied (initiator, idea, beachhead, CEO, full-time, reputation, cash), the points added, and a justification, ending in final share counts and ownership percentages, so the split is defensible line by line.
Build the Startup Pitch Financials Table
A structured financials block for a fundraising pitch containing market size, market growth rate, the business-model line items, and historical/projected revenue, with required fields present and internally consistent (e.g. SOM <= SAM <= TAM), so the deck's numbers are complete and coherent.
Build Weighted Founder Idea-Selection Matrix
A structured decision matrix that rates each candidate idea against weighted virtue criteria, computes the weighted score (SUMPRODUCT of weights and scores) per idea, and ranks them, so founders pick a direction on stated criteria instead of gut feel.
Business model canvas
A nine-box business model canvas where every box is a falsifiable hypothesis with a pass/fail test, plus a market-size note, so you know what to test first.
Buyer interview signal scoring for a burning problem
Each problem and solution averaged, banded, and flagged against the burning-problem and likely-adopted bars.
Categorized keyword research list
A categorized keyword table (problem / user / action / feature / location) with volume and competition estimates and a relevance note per term, plus a marked 5-to-10 keyword focus set.
Classify an Innovation with the Three Disruption Litmus Tests
A deterministic function that takes the five disruption-test answers for an innovation and returns its disruption class (new-market, low-end, both, sustaining, or not-disruptable) plus which tests it passed, exactly per Christensen's three litmus tests.
Classify Burn-Rate Danger Level
A pure function that converts monthly burn and cash on hand into months of runway and a danger classification using runway-month thresholds, per Altman's rule that burn is only scary when runway is short.
Classify Capital Character: Patient/Impatient for Growth vs Profit
A deterministic function mapping a venture's funding terms onto Christensen's two-axis capital-character model and returning whether the capital is good or bad for a new-market disruption, with the quadrant label.
Classify Startup Growth-Engine Fit (Viral / Sticky / Paid)
A founder receives a structured engine-fit assessment that pins each of the three Lean-Startup growth engines to a pass/fail gate on its driving metric and names the recommended primary engine.
