Honest boundaries
Cofounder advises; your team decides. It never edits the specification, and its board is AI, not a panel of people. Board runs spend AI credits, and market intelligence stays off until you switch it on. It is a sharper way to think out loud, not an oracle.
FAQ
Questions for the board.
What is CrystalSpec Cofounder?
Cofounder is a strategy board inside every CrystalSpec project. You ask a product or business question, and four AI perspectives — Strongman, Attacker, Scout, and Watchdog — answer it from your specification, your Live SWOT, your competitor research, and earlier board discussions. You can turn the advice into decisions with a test plan and a revisit date.
Is it a replacement for a human cofounder?
No. It is a structured second opinion that has read everything in your project and is never too busy to argue. Decisions stay with your team; the board advises, records, and reassesses when you bring it evidence.
Can Cofounder change my spec?
No. Board discussions and decisions live beside the specification and never edit it. Changes to the spec still go through AI proposals that a person approves.
Where does the market evidence come from?
From the project's Competition and Live SWOT tools, and, when market intelligence is switched on, from current public sources the board cites in its answer. When evidence can't be verified, the board states the gap rather than claiming it checked the market.
Who can use it, and what does it cost?
Anyone who can read the project can read the board. Members with write access ask questions, record decisions, and configure the schedule. Board runs use your workspace's AI credits, and scheduled market intelligence stays off until you switch it on.
Cofounder ships in every CrystalSpec project, next to the spec it reads.
