That the offer is understood
Examine which parts of a product description depend on knowledge the customer may not share. A clear explanation inside the team can still leave the reason to buy unstated.
Product assumptions / Research in development01 / 04
Test the assumptions behind your next build.
An offer can make sense to its founder and still leave a customer asking why they need it. Founder Effect is a research project examining those gaps with evidence-grounded synthetic personas and a separate review that challenges the findings.
Explore the methodCurrent status
The method is in development. Its output is a set of hypotheses to test with real people; simulated reactions do not establish demand.

taking for granted?
That your terms support your promise
Check whether the price, conditions or next step contradict what the headline leads someone to expect.
That interest means a purchase
A positive response leaves questions about alternatives, timing and willingness to pay. The research turns those questions into candidates for a real-world test.

finding as well.
Our method combines source material, synthetic persona reactions and a review looking for unsupported conclusions. That review can reject a finding, narrow it or change the recommended next test.
The distinction matters: a generated objection is a hypothesis. An observed contradiction in an offer is a different kind of evidence. We keep them separate.
