Decide With Data,
Not Gut.
Every introduction flows into a reversible, 60-90 day operating trial. Objectives, cadence, and instrumentation are built-in so equity only follows evidence.
Why Trials Exist
We treat co-founding like infrastructure, not chemistry. Trials de-risk equity, protect founders from permanent mistakes, and give investors verifiable operating data.
Equity Before Evidence
Ceding cap table presence before behavior is proven creates irrecoverable drag.
Invisible Decision Rights
Teams fracture when authority is assumed. Trials surface exactly how decisions are made.
Integrity Surprises
Reference-light matches hide deal-breakers. Structured observation prevents blind spots.
Investor Doubt
Without a reversible process, capital discounts your org. Trials supply diligence-ready artifacts.
A 90-Day Experiment
Objectives, cadence, and instrumentation act like a cockpit. Every move is recorded, shareable, and reversible.
Objectives
Mutually-authored trial brief specifying problem statements, KPIs, and behavioral guardrails.
Cadence
Structured sprint rhythm: Monday intents, midweek instrumentation, Friday decision logs.
Instrumentation
Observability stack. We monitor communication tone, decision quality, and delivery health.
Mediation
Neutral ombuds ready within 24h. Dedicated stewards ensure silence is not an option.
Decision
Documented go/no-go gate. Cooling-off period enforced before equity grants.
Governance Kits
Artifacts that ensure decisions survive beyond the trial.
Role Charters
Doctrine-level articulation of scope, rights, and non-negotiables for each seat.
Decision Matrices
Pre-built RACI matrices with escalation ladders and tie-break logic.
Equity Templates
Cliff/vesting defaults, reverse-vesting automations, and scenario calculators.
