Better questions.
Founder-owned decisions.

Hard Question is a research desk for US founders from pre-seed to Series A, and the people who support them. We focus on decisions that consume runway, equity and focus.

We compare instant AI-assisted preparation, internal decision processes and human expertise. The research makes alternatives, evidence gaps and conflicts visible. The founder retains the decision.

How to use the desk

Start with a live question, read the evidence and its limits, then use the readiness assessment or adviser scorecard to identify your next action.

Evidence and limitations

Each research page retains the supplied source links and caveats. Market figures, job advertisements, proposed interviews and hypothetical calculations are labelled according to the evidence. A category, credential or high score does not establish suitability for your decision.

Your information

The readiness assessment, scorecard and reading bookmarks are saved locally on your device. The decision workshop keeps its inputs in the current tab. There is no account or live email delivery in this edition. Use the clear controls to remove your local answers.

Do not enter confidential board papers, personal information, cap tables or investor identities. This desk supports a decision process and does not provide legal, securities, transaction or mental-health advice.
