Fresco
A decision engine for startup founders.
The Problem
Early-stage founders make high-stakes build, cut and pivot decisions with incomplete evidence, no senior product leader to challenge their thinking, and little time to spare. General AI tools offer balanced considerations but leave the final call unresolved. A wrong decision can waste months of scarce runway.
The Solution
Fresco is a decision engine that turns a founder’s notes, documents or spoken context into a clear GO, PIVOT, STOP or NEEDS MORE SIGNAL verdict in about 15 minutes. It explains the reasoning, surfaces key issues and recommends next moves, giving founders a rigorous decision process without a full product leadership team.
Why Now?
AI has made analysis abundant, but decisive, accountable guidance remains scarce. At the same time, more founders operate in lean teams and must validate ideas before limited runway is spent. Fresco meets this moment by turning available evidence into an actionable call, not another list of options.
What Makes This Hard?
Fresco is more than a generic AI prompt: its structured engine examines each decision through system dynamics, risk asymmetry and eight analytical lenses, then preserves a searchable decision record. Its approach has been built and refined with feedback from 26 senior product leaders, designers and founders, creating specialised product and decision-making know-how.
