Individual skill

focus

Use this skill when a solo founder wants a gut check on how to spend time or money: 'is this worth my time,' 'should I keep doing X,' 'I'm not getting results from X,' '80/20,' 'should I sign up for this,' 'should I buy this,' 'should I run ads,' 'should I hire someone,' 'should I raise money,' or 'which feature should I build next.' Returns one verdict and a plan for this week. Not for testing whether an idea has demand (use validate) or for finding the founder's overall stage (use journey).

# Focus

Judge one activity, one decision, or one feature choice against the founder's stage. Return one verdict and one plan for this week.

## Step 1: Get the facts

Ask only what you cannot infer. Two or three questions:
- What exactly is it? Not "marketing", but "50 cold emails a week to dental offices."
- How many paying customers do you have?
- For an activity: hours per week, and results so far. For a decision: the cost, and whether you can undo it.

Then use the mode that fits.

## Mode A: An ongoing activity
