How it works

Ten minutes of questions. Then a business that builds itself, runs itself, and brings you five real decisions a week.

Theo does the work a founding team would do in a quarter, then keeps doing it every day after.

Tell Theo about your business.

Ten minutes of questions while he researches your market live.

He researches while you talk.

Theo reads your market live, then asks sharper questions because of what he found.

  • Soy Wax Supply Indexsupplyindex.co

Ten minutes, not ten forms.

Eight to twelve questions about what you sell, who buys it, and how much rope he gets.

What do you make?
How is it made?
Who buys it today?
Where do they find you?
What does one cost you?
What do you charge?
Who else sells this?
How should you sound?
What can you spend?
What is a good month?
What stays yours alone?
When can I act alone?

Approve the plan, not the paperwork.

One card, every assumption labelled, changed with a sentence.

Every line is sourced.

Each row says whether you told him, he inferred it, or he picked a sensible default for you to check.

Change anything before it runs.

Edit the spec or talk it through. Nothing gets built until you hit go.

Monthly ad budget$250

Or say it out loud: start smaller and raise it once something works.

Run itTalk it through

It builds the whole thing.

Brand, site, products, payments and content, while you make coffee.

Then it runs it. You can watch.

Every part of the business gets a workspace, with Theo at work inside it.

Fifteen minutes, five real decisions.

The only meeting your business needs, and you are the only one in it.

Every bet carries a number.

Theo writes down what he expects to happen before he acts, then grades himself on Sunday.

Autonomy is earned, not set.

He gets more rope where he has been right, and loses it the moment he is not.
