Niche Scoring Without Methodology (Technical Founders)

Three rules. Stripped down for engineers who hate methodology.

Rule 1: Five Candidates, Not One

The contrast is the point. One candidate is theater.

Rule 2: Builder-Fit Means Audience, Not Engineering

You can build it - that is binary, not a score. Score builder-fit by audience and trust.

Rule 3: Pick and Move in Fifteen Minutes

The exercise is a filter. Pick the highest. Move to interviews.

Plain Summary

Five candidates, honest builder-fit, fifteen-minute cap. The rest is decoration.
