The Architecture Audit.
Twelve questions, four pillars, ten minutes. Score your company against the same lens we apply during diligence — data moats, model and IP, distribution, and operators.
Architecture or wrapper? The honest answer is usually somewhere in between. The point is to know which pillar is the soft one, and what to do about it before the next priced round.
How this works
- Pick the option that best matches your company today — not where you wish you were.
- Answers stay in your browser. Nothing is sent to Turing unless you choose to email yourself the result.
- Below 70 is most companies. The audit’s job is to surface where to focus.
The four pillars, restated.
The Audit measures the structural moves that make a company durable. Each pillar is defended in writing in the thesis.
- Pillar 013 questions
Data Moats
Proprietary data loops, accumulation velocity, network effects.
- Pillar 023 questions
Model & IP
Defensibility against foundation-model commoditization.
- Pillar 033 questions
Distribution
Customer-acquisition durability and expansion economics.
- Pillar 043 questions
Operators & Architecture
Engineering muscle, shipping velocity, decision cadence.
Hype is a temporary tactic. Architecture is a permanent advantage.
The Audit is a free first-pass. The deeper read happens in the Architecture Memos and the Cross-Border Founder Operating Manual. If you score 70+ and the architecture is real, we should talk.
