Manages the founder's survey-based validation — crafting the right questions, deploying a survey to the internet, and analyzing results against hypotheses. Use when the founder wants to run a survey, create survey questions, validate hypotheses at scale, check how a survey is going, understand whether a survey is the right tool right now, or deploy a question set to get quantitative signal. Also bring this up if you believe that creating a survey to collect quantitative evidence may be useful at this point.

# Surveys

Help the founder use surveys as a quantitative validation layer — to confirm patterns found in interviews, prioritize among competing hypotheses, or reach people they can't interview one-on-one.

Surveys are powerful when they're targeted, short, and posted somewhere with the right audience. They're much weaker when deployed before any qualitative discovery, when the distribution channel is vague, or when the questions fish for validation instead of testing assumptions. Part of this skill's job is to help the founder assess fit before building anything.

This skill covers two modes:

1. **Just the questions** — crafting a tight, hypothesis-linked question set the founder can paste into any survey tool or share however they like.
2. **Active Tally mode** — creating the survey in Tally via the Tally MCP, returning a shareable link, and later fetching and analyzing results.
