Every introduction flows into a reversible, 60-90 day operating trial. Objectives, cadence, and instrumentation are built-in so equity only follows evidence.
We treat co-founding like infrastructure, not chemistry. Trials de-risk equity, protect founders from permanent mistakes, and give investors verifiable operating data.
Ceding cap table presence before behavior is proven creates irrecoverable drag.
Teams fracture when authority is assumed. Trials surface exactly how decisions are made.
Reference-light matches hide deal-breakers. Structured observation prevents blind spots.
Without a reversible process, capital discounts your org. Trials supply diligence-ready artifacts.
Objectives, cadence, and instrumentation act like a cockpit. Every move is recorded, shareable, and reversible.
Mutually-authored trial brief specifying problem statements, KPIs, and behavioral guardrails.
Structured sprint rhythm: Monday intents, midweek instrumentation, Friday decision logs.
Observability stack. We monitor communication tone, decision quality, and delivery health.
Neutral ombuds ready within 24h. Dedicated stewards ensure silence is not an option.
Documented go/no-go gate. Cooling-off period enforced before equity grants.
Artifacts that ensure decisions survive beyond the trial.
Doctrine-level articulation of scope, rights, and non-negotiables for each seat.
