Make My Kill-or-Commit Decision
This Launch Pad turns your validation data into a structured decision recommendation. It will not make the decision for you. It organises the evidence so clearly that the decision becomes obvious.
What you walk away with
- A signal analysis that maps your situation to each row of the decision matrix. - A recommended action: KILL, PIVOT, or COMMIT, with specific reasoning drawn from your own data. - A 7-day action plan for whichever path is recommended. - A set of three personalised tripwires for your Pre-Commitment Protocol.
The AI is a mirror, not an oracle. It shows you what your data says. You decide what to do about it. It can organise the evidence. It cannot feel the cost of staying too long, and it cannot carry the decision. That is your job.
The guided version opens with The Builder's Desk
A 4-step guided session that structures the work, saves your outputs, and connects them across chapters. Until then, the full briefing is in your copy of the book — it works with any capable AI assistant.
From the book: Save this output, you will need it for LP 1.9 and LP 2.1. Your Go/Pivot/Kill decision and tripwires determine whether you proceed to Book 2. If you got COMMIT, your decision and action plan feed directly into your 90-day plan and your MVP spec. All of Book 2 rests on this decision. Treat it accordingly.
