Five diagnostic modules covering the structural questions that determine whether a venture succeeds: strategic clarity before building, hiring architecture, scaling fragility, AI automation sequencing, and co-founder alignment. Powered by Claude AI. Results within hours.
Free Fragility Snapshot: 12 questions, 5 minutes, immediate Claude AI output. No credit card required.
The Founder Blueprint applies the same pre-investment diagnostic logic an institutional investor uses — before external capital is committed.
Pre-seedThe Hiring Intelligence module runs the role architecture and candidate profile before the job description is written. The wrong senior hire costs £60,000-£150,000 in direct costs plus 6-18 months of lost momentum.
Pre-seed to SeedThe Scaling Fragility Scanner identifies the specific structural mechanism producing velocity decline as headcount grows — across six startup-calibrated dimensions.
Seed to Series A16% of startups fail due to founder disputes. The Co-founder Cohesion Diagnostic surfaces the structural precursors 6-12 months before they become operationally damaging.
Any stageThe AI ROI Scanner identifies the highest-value automation opportunities ranked by time cost, error frequency, and strategic value — with specific tool recommendations and a hire versus automate verdict.
Any stageThe Startup Exit Readiness module applies an acquirer's structural due diligence logic before the sale process begins. Auditable operations command 15-30% valuation uplifts.
Seed to Series AEach module runs immediately on completion. The Claude AI consultant is available within hours, seeded with the full report.
"Six months of work. The Founder Blueprint applies the same pre-investment diagnostic logic a well-prepared institutional investor uses — before the investor sees it."
The Blueprint produces a specific verdict on each strategic component: problem clarity, market specificity, product differentiation, business model structure, team composition, and immediate priority. The output is sequenced and prescriptive. Evidence gating is applied throughout — unverified claims are marked explicitly and excluded from primary findings.
"The hiring decision is irreversible for 6-12 months. The Hiring Intelligence module runs the architecture before that commitment is made."
Four layers: role architecture (should you hire this role at all, at this stage), job architecture (outcomes, decision rights, failure modes), candidate architecture (profile, anti-profile, disqualifiers), and screening intelligence (structured questions, work sample brief, reference guide). Optimism bias correction is applied — founders systematically overestimate hiring readiness.
"70% of new ventures collapse in years 2-5 as scaling complexity compounds structural weaknesses. The Scaling Fragility Scanner identifies the specific mechanism."
Six startup-calibrated dimensions: Founder SPOF, Knowledge Concentration, Delivery Load, Co-founder and Team Dynamics, Growth Architecture, and Revenue Concentration. Produces a Startup Fragility Score benchmarked against founders at the same stage, an archetype identification from seven documented startup failure patterns, and a root cause analysis that distinguishes the structural driver from the presenting symptom.
"The highest-ROI automations are almost always the processes that are boring, repetitive, and consuming 5-10 hours of team time per week."
Identifies automation opportunities ranked by time cost, error frequency, scalability ceiling, and strategic value. Produces specific tool recommendations, not general guidance. Includes a hire versus automate verdict for every planned role — where automation is the more capital-efficient solution, the report says so directly.
"16% of startups fail due to founder disputes. The structural precursors are detectable 6-12 months before the relationship becomes operationally damaging."
Each co-founder completes the diagnostic independently. The divergence between their responses is the primary finding. The report maps divergence across six dimensions, rates it by severity, and identifies the primary structural intervention. If only one co-founder completes, the report states this explicitly — the refusal is itself a structural signal.
The subscription model reflects how founders actually use structural diagnostics — not once, but at every inflection point. The free tier provides genuine output, not a teaser.
Cohort licences provide all five modules to every founder in a programme, with anonymised aggregate Fragility benchmarking across the cohort and a structural health narrative for programme reporting.
The free Fragility Snapshot and full Founder OS are opening to a limited beta group first. Register your email and you'll get early access the moment it's live, plus occasional build updates as we go.
No spam, no sales calls. One email when beta opens, occasionally sooner if there's something worth sharing.
