Pivot, Persevere, or Shut It Down?

The honest post-launch reckoning — read your traction for what it actually says, and decide whether to keep pushing, change course, or call it.

What you walk away with

A made decision — plus a shareable summary capturing what you chose, the reasoning behind it, what you ruled out, and what would make you revisit it. There's no document to build here: the thinking is the deliverable.

14 steps in the full journey.

The first 3 questions

This is where the conversation starts. Each answer shapes what gets asked next.

  1. 01What did you launch, when, and to whom? What did you expect to happen by now — and what actually happened?
  2. 02Walk me through the real numbers — signups, activation, retention, revenue, growth rate. Not the flattering cut: the honest one.
  3. 03How long have you been at this, and what's left in the tank — money, runway, and personally?

+ 11 more questions across discovery, validation, and the creative brief — each one adapting to what you've already said.
