Founder guide

Find the door.
Forge one key.

A four-part Keyteller guide. Name the lock before you build. Answer what is true, what is better, and what to build first. Enter through Discovery. Park the rest in the open.

The thesis

Find the door. Forge key systems. Master key.

We still call the sequence MVP Factory. In Keyteller language it is Discovery: find the door, name the lock, forge one key, or pause. The master key is the decision system the team keeps.

  • The failure mode is a locked door, not a product that is too small.
  • Answer what is true, what is better, and what to build first, before you forge.
  • Enter through Discovery. Do not start in a program or a GitHub clone.
  • Park every other key visibly so phase two cannot smuggle the locked door back.

Bring a live direction. Then book the call.

We find the door, name the lock, and prescribe the first key: a program, a scoped project, or a pause. Discovery is how we run that.
