Office Hours
A structured interrogation skill that forces founders to answer six critical questions—problem, customer, distribution, defensibility, capital, and founder fit—before receiving strategic advice. Use it to pressure-test vague founder questions, surface framing gaps, and determine whether an idea is ready for deeper analysis or should be redefined.

/c-level-agents:office-hours — Six-Question Founder Interrogation
Command: /c-level-agents:office-hours <topic>
Before any advice, the founder must answer six questions. Modeled on YC office hours: no analysis until the founder has done the thinking. This is the cognitive forcing function that prevents drift into solutionism.
When to Run
- Before starting any major initiative
- Before fundraising
- Before a strategic pivot
- When the founder is excited (excitement is a tell — pressure-test)
- When the answer is "obvious" (the obvious answer is usually wrong)
The Six Questions
The founder must answer all six in writing before any C-role weighs in.
1. Problem
Whose problem is this, and how do they describe it in their own words?
- Not your framing. Their words.
- If you can't quote a customer, you don't have a problem worth solving.
2. Customer
Who is the ICP? Name one real person who would buy this today.
- Real human. Real company. Real seat.
- If you can't name one, the ICP isn't ready.
