What does the free assessment include?

Full archetype result: profile name, category, strengths, blind spot, reference founder match, and trait summary. No charge. Full report is currently unlocked in launch promo.

How does this differ from MBTI or DISC?

MBTI and DISC focus on cognition or workplace behaviour. This assessment focuses on how founders allocate attention under constraint: capital, people, competition, and setbacks. The eight profiles are defined for operating context, not HR categorisation.

How is the result determined?

Each answer maps to weighted signals across eight profiles; the last question reflects how you see yourself. The profile you get follows directly from those choices. The write-up is phrased around what you actually picked.

Is an account required?

No account needed. Email is optional if you want a copy in your inbox.

What is in the PDF report?

Forty-two pages: business models, hiring order, decision steps, common mistakes, and a 90-day action plan. Right now it is free in launch promo.

What Type of Founder Are You? (And Why It Matters For Your Business)

Your founder type shapes decisions, team design, and growth speed.

Your type matters because the same market rewards different styles. A focus-first person may win in a niche premium offer. An execution-first person may win with steady volume and ops. Build around how you actually work — do not blindly copy someone else’s playbook.

How founder type changes decisions

Vision-heavy people need guardrails on focus. Operator-heavy people need guardrails on speed without strategy. If you are vision-heavy: one short ops review weekly. If you are operator-heavy: fixed blocks for strategy and customer calls. Fit the role to the person.

Simple checklist — Archetypes

Pick one result for this week and one person who owns it.
Track three numbers weekly: leads, closes, margin (or cash).
Run one small test at a time; set a date to review it.
Friday note: keep / fix / stop / next week.

Common mistake

In archetypes work, people often change the plan every few days. Hold one money priority for a full week, then change only if the numbers say so.

Steady small steps beat a new big idea every Monday.
