PMF Pivot-or-Shutdown Decision OS
A SaaS workspace that helps founders decide whether to continue, pivot, or wind down using explicit hypotheses, runway scenarios, and evidence thresholds. It addresses a high-stakes, recurring early-stage problem where poor judgment can waste large amounts of capital.
이것이 중요한 이유
You have runway left, but the product is not pulling hard enough and every month makes the decision more expensive. You are torn between persistence and discipline, and neither instinct feels reliable because the stakes involve team identity, investor trust, and a lot of capital. Advice from peers often conflicts: some say it is too early to stop, while others say burning more cash without stronger evidence is the real mistake. What you need is a practical system that turns scattered customer signals, experiment results, and runway math into a clear operating view of whether to keep going, pivot into a different wedge, or end the effort responsibly.

근거 요약
AI가 이 인사이트를 합성한 방법 — 직접 인용 없음
The strongest pattern in the discussion was confusion about when weak traction justifies a pivot, further experimentation, or a shutdown. This appeared across roughly sixteen mentions and carried the highest combined severity. Commenters repeatedly contrasted disciplined capital preservation with emotionally driven persistence, and several noted that the absence of explicit failure criteria makes the decision unusually painful.
