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.
