Co-Founder Trial Kit
The complete collaboration toolkit.
14 days of real work with your potential co-founder. Not a compatibility quiz — a working trial with decision logs, check-in rituals, and a conflict framework. Equity you can take back.
What’s inside
Everything you need for 14 days of real work.
Daily Check-In Rituals
5-minute morning and end-of-day protocols to establish rhythm without micromanagement.
Decision Log Template
Every significant decision documented with context, alternatives considered, and the actual outcome.
Conflict Framework Workbook
A structured approach to navigating disagreement without escalating — or suppressing.
Vision Alignment Exercise
A 90-minute co-founder session to align on the 10-year arc before the 10-week sprint.
Role Clarity Matrix
Define who owns what — decision rights, veto rights, and escalation paths.
Friction Audit Template
End-of-week reflection: what friction surfaced, how it was handled, what it taught you.
