Founder cycle introspection guides you through a multi-phase ritual to document reflections after a ship. It outputs a dated cycle record and updates founder context, ensuring learning compounds over time by aligning what happened with what to do next.
Assessing product-market fit signals involves synthesizing user feedback and scoring your minimum playable product. A structured cycle ritual guides you through user signal synthesis and MPP scoring to evaluate PMF patterns and decide on a single, decisive next step.
Maintaining a permanent record of product management decisions requires generating structured cycle records at cycles/YYYY-MM-DD.md. This workflow automates the documentation of user signal synthesis and next-step commitments, updating founder context to keep product memory fresh.
Yes, the founder-context.md file is required to run the structured learning ritual. The workflow coordinates data from founder-context and prior cycles to produce structured cycle records, update context, and define next-step commitments.
Run a build cycle ritual after every meaningful ship, or weekly if you ship continuously. This frequency keeps your product memory fresh, aligns recent events with learned patterns, and maintains growth-focused founder context.
Automating founder-cycle introspection requires a cycle-template.md and a failure-modes.md file to guide the multi-phase ritual. These templates support ongoing discipline by structuring honest reflection, MPP scoring, and pattern reading into the final dated cycle record.
