The Problem

You track revenue, users, and churn.
But not the decisions that drive them.

Every founder makes dozens of strategic calls a month. Kill the free tier. Hire a marketer instead of an engineer. Pivot the distribution model. But nobody tracks whether those calls were right.

You wouldn't run your product without analytics. Why are you running your strategy without a feedback loop?

Decision Intelligence

Every decision feeds the network

Scores flow in. Outcomes flow back. The AI gets sharper with every founder who contributes.

Your Founder Decision Quotient

A composite score across 6 signals that measures how good you are at making startup decisions. It takes months to build, can't be faked, and gets sharper the more you use it.

Prediction Accuracy

Do your scores match what actually happens? Log outcomes and find out.

87/100 accuracy

"71 out of 82 predictions were correct. You're better at reading risk than you think."

Smart Risk-Taking

Bold calls that pay off score higher than safe bets. The FDQ rewards founders who take smart risks.

10/10 bold calls won

"High-risk decisions with positive outcomes. That's not luck. That's pattern recognition."

How It Works

Log it. Score it. Learn from it.

Takes 30 seconds to score a decision. The real value comes when you record what happened.

Step 01

Score

Log your decision and rate it across four weighted dimensions: Impact (40%), Effort (25%), Risk (20%), and Time-to-Value (15%). The system computes a composite score and classifies the action.

Step 02

Track

Implement the decision and record the outcome. Did it exceed expectations? Fall short? Revenue before and after, key metric changes, and implementation notes — all captured.

Step 03

Learn

Compare your decision against similar ones in the directory. See benchmark data from other founders at your stage. AI analysis identifies patterns in what works and what does not.


Core Features

The system behind the score.

Four capabilities that close the loop between making a decision and knowing if it was right.

Decision Scoring

A weighted framework that scores every decision across four dimensions. Impact (40%), Effort (25%), Risk (20%), and Time-to-Value (15%) produce a composite score from 1 to 10 that determines the recommended action.

The Scoring Model

Every decision gets a score. Every score maps to an action.

Scores are computed from four weighted dimensions and automatically classified into one of four action categories.

Score Range → Action

8.0 - 10

Execute Now

High confidence. Act immediately.

6.0 - 7.9

Optimise

Refine before committing resources.

4.0 - 5.9

Experiment

Validate with a controlled test first.

< 4.0

Deprioritise

Low impact or high risk. Reallocate.

Classification System

Scale

Proven signal. Double down on what is working and allocate more resources.

Optimise

Working but not fully validated. Improve efficiency before scaling.

Experiment

Promising but unvalidated. Run a controlled test before committing.

Kill

Underperforming. Cut losses and reallocate resources to higher-scoring opportunities.

Note: A "Kill" decision can score 9.2 — high confidence that cutting something will improve outcomes. The classification describes what to do. The score describes how certain you should be doing it.
