Founder & Startup

Pivot or Persevere Decision

Decide whether to pivot or push on: the evidence audit, the sunk-cost cleanse, the pivot options ranked, and the decision with a review date.

Help me decide: pivot or persevere. Situation: {{situation}} (what we set out to do, the evidence so far — traction, feedback, money, time left, the pivot ideas circling). Work: the evidence audit (what the numbers say vs what I keep hoping — the leading indicators separated from vanity), the sunk-cost cleanse (the question: knowing what I know now, would I START this today? — answer it before looking at options), the persevere case steel-manned (what would have to be true for the current path to work, and is there a cheap test of it left?), the pivot options ranked by what we KEEP (customers, tech, insight — good pivots carry assets), and the decision with a review date and the pre-committed threshold. No brave-founder theatre — the honest call.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
