Description
Pair explicitly recorded previous and proposed startup hypotheses.
Venture calculations depend on funding scope, fee bases, repayment terms, equity conventions and reporting periods. A post-money investor fraction differs from a pre-money valuation ratio, while constant-burn runway is conditional on a positive burn assumption. Interview consent and reported hypothesis support remain source-record assertions rather than verified evidence.
Pair explicitly recorded previous and proposed startup hypotheses.
When to use this tool
Use Startup Pivot Hypothesis Tag when you already have experimentCode, previousHypothesis, proposedHypothesis and need to pair explicitly recorded previous and proposed startup hypotheses.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter experimentCode, previousHypothesis, proposedHypothesis. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter experimentCode, previousHypothesis, proposedHypothesis using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| experimentCode | Experiment Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| previousHypothesis | Previous Hypothesis | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| proposedHypothesis | Proposed Hypothesis | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without recommending a pivot. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile the actual cash-flow forecast, financing agreement, cap table and experiment records for a venture decision. Use the full vesting and funding terms and inspect evidence quality; one balance, status label or supplied fraction does not establish feasibility, ownership or customer demand.
