Problem
Founders need experienced perspective on product, finance, operations, and growth long before they can afford a real advisory board. Generic AI chat doesn't help — it doesn't ask the right follow-ups, doesn't structure perspectives, and doesn't push back when the founder is wrong.
Challenge
How do you design a system that simulates structured advisory perspectives — without overpromising? "Decision support, not advice" has to be a system constraint, not a footer.
Proposed solution
A platform that walks a founder through a structured frame across product, finance, operations, growth, and risk lenses. Each lens has its own prompt structure, its own questions to push, and its own way of disagreeing. The multi-perspective output is the differentiator, not the single chat thread.
Technology used
Business value
Not yet measured. Working hypothesis: useful for early-stage founders making decisions in the 10–50k range where a $300/hr advisor isn't economically justified.
Current status
Research. Prototyping the multi-lens dialog system.
Lessons learned
Multi-perspective is the differentiator. Single-prompt AI chat already exists — the value is structured disagreement across explicit lenses, with each lens accountable for its own framing. Internal research finding.
Decision support — not financial, legal, or medical advice. Founders remain responsible for their own decisions.
