Boss Fights

End-of-module capstones. You get a scenario, real numbers, and one shot to write your judgment — then a grader scores you against a rubric. High stakes, targeted feedback.

Fundamentals
The Founder Who Achieved Failure
He built it exactly as planned, on time, with clean code and zero bugs. Nobody wants it. Tell him why that's not bad luck.
Customer & Market
42 Interviews, Zero Customers
Every single interview went great. Then she opened the payment page and heard crickets. Tell her what her interviews actually measured.
Metrics & Analytics
The Founder Who Found PMF (In a Press Release)
A founder claims product-market fit. The dashboard says otherwise. You have five minutes to say so.
Value Proposition & Positioning
A Great Product, Dying of the Wrong Comparison
Every deal she loses, she loses to Asana. The product was never built to beat Asana. Find the fix before the board meeting.
Business Models & Unit Economics
The Founder Who Priced by Vibes (And Grew Anyway)
Signups are up and to the right. So is the hole in the bucket. You have five minutes to show the founder the math.
Strategy & Funding
The $10M Ask on 1.2:1 Unit Economics
The deck says 'raise $10M, pour it into growth.' The unit economics say the growth loses money. You're the last read before the partner meeting.
Product Leadership
The Feature Factory
Sales wants the feature. The VP wants the feature. Nobody wants to ask if the last five features anyone wanted actually worked.
MVP & Experimentation
The Five-Month MVP
Engineering wants five months to build the recommendation engine. You can get the same answer in a week — with a human pretending to be one.
Strategy & Funding
The Friendly Term Sheet
The valuation looks generous. The two clauses under it quietly take back the win. You're on the call before signature.
Growth Systems
"We Just Need More Traffic"
The CEO wants to double the marketing budget. The funnel says the money dies three steps later. Diagnose it — out loud, in the meeting.
