Choose what to get done
Founder personal runway and go-full-time verdict
A bootstrapping founder learns how many months of personal runway they have and whether it clears the book's full-time-go thresholds, so they can decide whether to quit their job now or stay part-time.
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.
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.
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.
New-hire equity grant by hire number
A pure function that returns the equity-grant percentage for the Nth early hire by interpolating between configurable anchor grants (default 1.5% for hire #1, 0.25% for hire #20), per the YC early-hire equity rule of thumb.
OpenAPI endpoint reference
A complete, well-formed reference for one endpoint: method, path, parameters (with every path placeholder covered), the required status codes, and a consistent request body.
Press list of reporters to pitch
A deduplicated press contact list built to your brief: every row carries a reporter name, a publication, a valid-format email address, and a sample-article link, with duplicate emails and single-source padding screened out.
