Ink Foundry · launch sequence

First 90 days

Doctrine, then a pilot cohort, then paid offers. Each phase produces artifacts that can be checked, not status updates that cannot.

Days 1–30

Factory doctrine

Write down what the factory is and what it refuses to build, then produce the templates that make the second company cheaper than the first.

· Ink Foundry one-pager
· ReceiptRoom landing page
· Open-source Ink Receipts starter kit
· Founder intake form
· Diligence-room template
· RFP proof template
· Accelerator cohort template
· 10-founder pilot list

Days 31–60

First pilot cohort

A small cohort is enough to learn whether receipts change founder behaviour and whether investors read them. It is not enough to be mistaken for traction, which is the point.

· Run a small cohort of 5–10 founders
· Each founder gets a ReceiptRoom
· Instrument weekly founder updates
· Log customer discovery as it happens
· Produce an investor-ready evidence packet per founder
· Select one or two RFP or enterprise pilots

Days 61–90

Convert to paid offers

Launch three paid offers. Bankabil then observes which vertical has the strongest market pull and concentrates infrastructure investment there.

RFP Receipt for Enterprise SalesReceipted bid workflowVendors whose revenue depends on defensible claims in regulated procurement.

CXO-in-a-Box for Function BuildoutFractional operator with handoffCompanies that need a function built once, properly, with the reasoning preserved.

Entry point

Every founder in the cohort enters through Bankability Preflight. It is free, deterministic, browser-only, and produces the readiness baseline the rest of the 90 days is measured against.
