What it does

Synthesize founder learnings into cross-venture thesis artifacts

Best for

When a venture journey ends and you need to extract the timeless patterns that inform the next venture.

Inputs
  • · completed venture journey (PMF memo, stage work, decision logs)
  • · lessons learned, hypotheses, failure modes
Outputs
  • · PMF insights memo, founder-style memo, value-hypothesis stance (thesis_ledger.md entries)
Preconditions

Current venture cycle complete (PMF achieved, pivoted, or killed); founder willing to abstract lessons

Failure modes
  • · Synthesis stays too specific to this venture (not generalizable)
  • · Lessons are post-hoc rationalization instead of grounded in data
  • · Founder hides uncomfortable patterns (e.g., team dysfunction)
Trust signals
  • · Enforces grounding in venture data, not narrative
  • · Abstracts from specific to principle (PMF insights for future ventures)
  • · Cross-references founder's thesis evolution
