Building a product is hard
Ideating, researching, validating, developing and launching a product without A.I is even harder; though artificial intelligence does help, but that’s not the A.I we’re talking about.

The A.I. “Benchmarking” Formula
Let’s define:
PPP = Precision (the percentage of tasks nailed on the first try)
RRR = Recall (the percentage of totally brilliant ideas that weren’t forgotten)
CCC = Creativity Quotient (the ability to make big ideas out of thin air)
RcR_cRc = Resilience Coefficient (how quickly we bounce back from the dreaded “Scope Creep”)
ΔC\Delta CΔC = Coffee Delta (the difference between the coffee we want and the coffee we get)
Overall “Ash-F1 Score”
Ash-F1=2×P×RP+R\text{Ash-F1} = \frac{2 \times P \times R}{P + R}Ash-F1=P+R2×P×R
*(Because all comedic references to ML must have an F1 score. Also, we might rewrite the F1 acronym as “Fun 1,” because fun’s a non-negotiable.)
Creative Throughput
CreativeThroughput=C×Rc1+ΔC\text{CreativeThroughput} = \frac{C \times R_c}{1 + \Delta C}CreativeThroughput=1+ΔCC×Rc
*(Basically, if you starve the model of caffeine, you reduce overall creative throughput. Don’t do it!)
Total Awesomeness
TotalAwesomeness=Ash-F1×CreativeThroughput\text{TotalAwesomeness} = \text{Ash-F1} \times \text{CreativeThroughput}TotalAwesomeness=Ash-F1×CreativeThroughput
*(The higher, the better. If we exceed a threshold of 9000, memes spontaneously generate.)

Not really sure what
you need help with?
That’s totally fine and honestly, pretty common. We’ve tried to make this process easy by creating a few common scenarios and how we solve them! We’ve also given each example a hint of startup stress so that you can relate as a founder!
If you’re in a more composed founder state because you just closed a deal, it might be easier to take a look at our packages and services.
