• · Venture/idea/feature/career bet description
• · Market context (if available)
• · Current team/product status (if applicable)

• · Hard verdict: BUILD-POUR-FUEL / MARKET-FIRST-DERISK / KILL-OR-REPICK-MARKET
• · Deterministic reasoning (strongest counterargument first)
• · Explicit confidence levels (high/medium/low)
• · 3x5-card daily routine execution

• · stdlib-only (no external APIs)

• · User must accept anti-sycophancy operating prompt (leads with disagreement)
• · Market data helps but not required (reasoning is framework-based, not research-dependent)
• · Confidence levels require honest self-assessment of uncertainty

• · Anti-sycophancy can feel dismissive without context (design constraint, not a bug)
• · Market > team > product ordering may not apply to regulatory/compliance-heavy domains
• · 3x5-card daily routine assumes user discipline (no enforcement tool)

• · Frameworks directly attributed (Andreessen 2007-2020 essays: 'Only Thing That Matters', 'It's Time to Build', 'Software Eating World')
• · Anti-sycophancy prompt is explicit (no hidden disclaimers or hedging)
• · Market > team > product is Andreessen canon, not invented heuristic
• · 3x5-card routine is his documented daily practice
