For founders, every Monday

Sensei reads your business.
You ship the right thing.

One reading. One move. Every Monday.

Your site, your competitors, and your real metrics when you wire Stripe or analytics — read each week. The $15K strategy call, narrowed to one move, before Monday’s first coffee.

No integrations? You still get the read — from your site, the public web, and what you tell Sensei. Wiring data sharpens it. Sensei never fakes numbers it can’t cite.

The rituals

Four rituals a chat window can’t hold.

The rhythm that turns strategy from a thing you ask about into a thing you receive.

Reads what you ship

Connect GitHub and the next read opens with what you actually pushed — “You shipped the onboarding fix yesterday.” Not in a chat box. In your reading.

The Monday Cadence

Pre-brewed Sunday night. Pushed Monday 7am local. Strategy as ritual, not dashboard.

Reads your cohort, not everyone's

B2B pre-revenue reads differently than consumer-scaling. Verdict thresholds and framing bend to your cohort.

Predictions with Receipts

Predictions with receipts — tracked against funding rounds, score deltas, competitor moves. Sensei called it — or it didn’t.

Sensei’s receipts

Every reading ends with predictions. Receipts, not rhetoric. We publish which ones landed.

Sensei observes

Your pricing page buries the founding-member discount below the fold. Visitors who see free-first convert 34% higher than those who meet paid tiers first.

The one move+8 pts

Move “$0 during beta” above your pricing table.

You're burying the strongest conversion lever. Free-first framing primes the trial; paid-first framing primes hesitation.

The Four Lenses

Tools end where the work begins.
Sensei starts there.

Four dimensions. Four questions you should be losing sleep over. Sensei scores them so you know which fire to put out first.

Market Fit

Is anyone going to buy this?

The graveyard of startups is full of beautiful products nobody wanted.

Problem worth solving
Audience with budget
Differentiation that matters

Strategy

Can you actually win?

Hope is not a strategy. Neither is 'we'll figure it out.'

Clear positioning
Defensible moat
Pricing that works

Presence

Does your site close?

Traffic means nothing if visitors bounce in 3 seconds.

Trust at first glance
Clarity over cleverness
Path to conversion

Edge

Why you and not them?

Your competitors are one Google search away from your customers.

Know your battlefield
Own your territory
Exploit their gaps

The score tightens as you ship. Monday reads against last week.

Sensei observes

The hero explains how MIMIR works before why anyone should care. Visitors see technical details before the pain point — so they bounce before understanding the benefit.

The one move

Lead with the pain — “Tired of tab-switching between ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini?” — then explain MIMIR.

What Sensei Catches

Things you would have missed.

Every week, Sensei surfaces insights that would have cost you customers, time, or money. Click to explore:

This is one week of insights. Sensei never stops watching.

Know if there's demand
before you build

Competitor movements. Customer signals. Market trends. Sensei reads them all — and tells you if you're building for a real need.

A clear number showing how validated your market is, based on real signals — not guesswork.

Demand Signal Tracking

See search trends, community discussions, and buying intent for your category.

Competitor Movement Analysis

When competitors pivot or exit, Sensei tells you what it means for your positioning.

Market Size Validation

Is your TAM real or fantasy? Sensei cross-references multiple data sources.

Gap Opportunity Finder

Find underserved segments your competitors are ignoring — real whitespace.

Viability Assessment

Before you go all-in, know if the market will support your business model.

Your data stays private. We never share your diagnosis or use it to train models.

The difference

You already have tools that show you what happened. Sensei writes what to do.

What you’re probably using

Tools that answer what, not so what.

  • ChatGPT / Claude

    Brilliant when you prompt them. You decide when to read the situation; they wait for the question. No proactive Monday read, no OAuth-cited live data, no predictions with receipts to compare against next week.

  • Strategy consultants

    $15K+ per engagement. Weeks to deliver. Stale the moment they send the deck.

  • Mixpanel / Amplitude

    Show what happened. Never tell you what to do about it.

What Sensei does

A reading. Specific. In voice.

  • Remembers your product, your path, the decisions you made.

  • Watches your competitors, your market, your mentions — daily.

  • Writes a verdict and the one move. Not five options. One.

  • Lands the Monday Reading — what moved, what you did, what's next.

  • Makes specific time-bound predictions. Then holds itself to them.

Who it's for

For founders who would read a letter on Monday.

Not every founder wants a weekly reading. If you already have one — a board, a coach, a co-founder who thinks clearly — Sensei is redundant. These four are who it’s for.

Solo Founders

Building alone. Can't miss a market shift. Sensei watches so you don't have to.

Building MVP or early-stage
Need to validate positioning
Want competitor alerts

Small SaaS Teams

Product shipped. GTM needs sharpening. Sensei finds the gaps that move the needle.

Post-launch, pre-scale
Need pricing confidence
Want strategic focus

Bootstrapped Builders

Every dollar counts. The strategic clarity a $7K/mo fractional CMO delivers — at $29/mo while founding access is open.

Revenue-focused
No VC backing needed
Want ROI on every tool

Agency Founders

Audit client sites. Deliver strategic recs. Turn Sensei insights into client value.

Client site audits
Competitive research
Strategic consulting add-on

Not the right fit

  • Enterprise teams with dedicated strategy departments
  • Founders who already have a board that reads this weekly
  • Products with no online presence yet
  • Anyone looking for a dashboard, not a letter

From the founder

I built a product. Then what?

The code was shipped. Users were signing up. But nobody tells you the next part — how to price it, where to find the people who actually want it, what to say when an investor asks about the moat.

Every search led to generic frameworks, $30K consultants, or accelerators that wanted equity for advice. I didn’t need a mentor or a course. I needed something that knew my product and told me — specifically, clearly — what to do next.

That tool didn’t exist. So I built it.

Before you ask

The seven questions every founder asks first.

What is Ask Sensei?

AI strategic analysis for founders. Four lenses — Market Fit, Strategy, Presence, Edge. One verdict. One move. Every Monday.

How does it work?

Connect your data (Stripe, Plausible, Vercel, etc). Sensei reads it Monday 7am. You get scores, callouts, and one clear action.

What data sources do you connect to?

Live: Stripe, Plausible, Vercel, GA, Amplitude, Mixpanel, PostHog. Scraped: competitor sites, pricing, changelogs, reviews, news. Optional — Sensei reads blind too.

How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?

ChatGPT reacts to prompts. Sensei pushes weekly reads with live data, cohort context, and a public prediction ledger. Cadence, integrations, and accountability — not just memory.

Is my data safe?

SOC 2 compliant. Encrypted. Never shared. Never sold. Never trains models. Delete anytime.

What happens on May 31?

Founding pricing ($29/mo) closes. New users pay $49/mo. Existing founders keep $29 for life.

Can I trust the predictions?

We publish a ledger at /accuracy. Predictions with receipts. What landed. What missed. No fake accuracy numbers.

Who uses Ask Sensei

Pre-revenue to scaling. B2B and consumer. Solo and small teams. Bootstrapped and early-venture. If you ship fast and need a strategic second opinion every Monday — Sensei is built for you.

Founding Access

Every week, founders miss something that costs them customers.
