Choose what to get done
Goal decomposed into an executable task plan
A goal broken into ordered, tool-assigned steps with a resolved, acyclic dependency graph, so an agent (or a team) can execute it without ambiguity.
Head-Hand-Heart talent remuneration package
An early-stage founder receives a structured offer that pairs ESOPs and tax-aware cash with explicit psychological motivators, so they can compete for talent they cannot out-pay on salary alone.
In-house build-vs-buy tendency scorer
A founder weighing whether to sell an AI capability as a service gets a 0-6 in-house-tendency score and a build/buy verdict per the book's exact criteria, flagging capabilities customers will just build themselves.
Incident response runbook
A severity-tiered response playbook (roles, response targets, escalation, comms) so responders follow a plan instead of debating process mid-outage.
Input guard against prompt injection
A reusable guard that enforces type, length, and charset per field and rejects inputs smuggling section-break delimiters or fake instruction/role markers, before the LLM sees them.
Interview panel coverage plan
A structured interview-loop plan mapping interviewers to competencies, sized per the research, with a dissenter assigned.
Investor diligence data room
A complete, correctly-bucketed diligence data room with every required document accounted for across the pre-term-sheet and post-term-sheet sets.
Job requisition spec
A complete requisition: responsibilities with success metrics, a must-have skills list capped to avoid the unicorn trap, a valid comp range, and a clean biased-language screen.
Logs, metrics, and traces instrumentation plan
A concrete plan covering all three observability pillars per service, plus an SLI for every golden signal, so you can actually see what your app is doing.
Maintainability index per module
The Maintainability Index (raw and 0-100 normalized) per module from Halstead volume, cyclomatic complexity, and lines of code, with a maintainability band.
Model router that sends each query to the right LLM
A routing function that dispatches each query to the right model by its type, normalizing case and falling back to a default for any unlisted type.
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.
