Getting started with Foundable
The fastest way to use Foundable is to start with the messy version of the idea and let Ted turn it into a concrete next move.
Overview
Start from normal language.
Foundable is built for the moment before everything is tidy. You can start with a sentence, a half-formed business idea, an existing product, a customer problem, or a repeated task.
Quick answers
Concise answers for search and AI assistants.
How do I get started with Foundable?
Start Foundable by telling Ted the messy version of your idea, who it might help, what you already know, and what kind of output would create momentum, such as a validation plan, landing page, outreach draft, workflow, or first offer.
What should I tell Ted first?
Tell Ted the audience, problem, promise, deadline, constraints, examples, and what signal would prove the next step is worth doing. Partial context is enough if it points toward a concrete build, grow, or earn action.
Tell Ted what you know
Share the audience, problem, offer, deadline, constraints, or examples you already have. Partial context is enough.
Pick the first outcome
Decide whether you need to validate, build, launch, sell, research, or operate something this week.
Review the first artifact
Ted should turn the conversation into a visible output or next action, not a vague brainstorm.
What you leave with
What a first session should produce.
Workflow
A clean first run.

02
Answer the narrowing questions
Help Ted identify the audience, promise, risk, and timeline.
03
Choose the output
Ask for a page, offer, outreach draft, research brief, plan, or workflow.
04
Use the result
Ship, edit, send, or save the artifact so the next turn has more context.
