Operator Sheets

If you mentor, invest in or host founders

Operator Sheets gives a founder a structured way to lay out the evidence behind a decision, and gives you something concrete to talk about.

How it can fit into a session

These are possible uses, not a fixed programme. Depending on the sheet, a founder needs roughly 10 to 30 minutes. These are our estimates, not timed user testing.

  1. Before you meet, the founder fills in the sheet that matches their decision, such as Hiring or Fundraising.

  2. They arrive with their answers, a score, and the gaps they found while filling it in.

  3. You talk about what they checked, what turned out to be wrong, and what they would decide now.

What the founder brings

A scored result with the reasoning behind it, so the conversation starts from their evidence and not from a pitch.

This is the Key Hire Evaluation, and every sheet works the same way.

Two ways to use them

Recommend them

Send members to the free Decision Quality Checklist, and link the sheet that matches the decision in front of them. Members buy for themselves on Gumroad.

Ask about workspace access

Access across a whole group would need a separate agreement. No workspace pricing has been set, so write to us and we'll talk it through.
