Frequently asked questions

What is the Founder Reflex Quiz?

A short decision quiz built from five founder dilemmas. Each question offers four trade-off options; your choices tally across cash discipline, growth aggression, and balance, and the result shows your founder decision profile.

Is there a right answer?

No. Every option is a defensible version of a real strategy; scoring looks at how much a choice ties to measurement, reversibility, and timing. The goal isn't grading — it's making your decision reflexes visible.

What does the reflex score measure?

The score (0–100) reflects a tendency to tie decisions to tests, keep them reversible, and read timing. A high score doesn't mean 'cautious' — it means 'making trade-offs deliberately'.

Are my results stored?

The quiz runs entirely in your browser; your answers are never stored against a profile. Only an anonymous completion event is logged so we can improve the quiz.
