SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Founders frequently hold unexamined beliefs and assumptions that steer product, go-to-market, and hiring decisions toward failure; this Skill uncovers those hidden misjudgments by stress-testing the founder's worldview against evidence and common failure modes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Blind Spot Mapping: Systematically surface misalignments across customer, competition, business model, narrative, execution, and personal leadership.
  • Prioritized Analysis: Rank blind spots by severity and near-term impact, with evidence trails and concrete indicators.
  • Actionable Reporting: Produce a structured report with deep dives, an assumption autopsy (Validated / Unvalidated / Likely Wrong), and a 12–18 month scenario if issues remain unaddressed.
  • Use Case: A founder asks "what am I not seeing?" Provide a prioritized diagnostic that highlights the top 2–3 risks and practical next steps to mitigate them.

Quick Start

Ask the advisor to identify and rank your top three strategic blind spots given detailed company context, key metrics, target customer, and your stated assumptions.
