Before you continue
Use the real founder email
The same email carries through signup, login, and recovery, so duplicate-workspace mistakes stay visible instead of getting silently recreated.
Start validation
Start your $9 validation.
Create one founder record, keep the selected plan attached, and continue into the clearest validation or recovery path.
One founder record
Keep the idea, plan, email, and workspace tied together from the first step.
The signup flow should preserve context, then hand the founder to the clearest validation or recovery path.
The signup page should feel like the first step of a validation purchase, not a generic account form.
Signup
Create one founder record and keep the validation path attached.
Use the same email, workspace name, and plan choice you want to keep through the report, recovery, and a later Growth upgrade.
Before you continue
Choose the workspace name you plan to keep
Signup creates a reusable onboarding record first. If the founder already exists, the flow should recover the existing workspace instead of creating another one.
Before you continue
Continue with the supported identity path
The founder can continue after signup while invite-based recovery remains available as the fallback.
Plan context
Single Validation
$9 one-time
The selected plan stays attached to this founder record so the next step stays clear.

Founder details
Prepare the workspace before validation starts.
The goal is a clean handoff into the validation workspace, not a vague lead form.
Next step
Keep the next step explicit.
Once founder details are saved, the product should continue from the same route with the same workspace and plan context.
What happens next
1Stage the workspace with the founder email, workspace name, and Single Validation plan.
2Keep the same founder identity attached to the validation workspace.
3Enter the workspace only after the route confirms the founder record.
Complete the form first, then continue with the supported workspace access path.
Recovery model
Signup should explain the next step before the founder commits.
A polished signup flow makes validation, recovery, and reviewed follow-through obvious instead of forcing the founder to infer them after submission.
Workspace continuity
The route should preserve one founder record.
When the founder already exists, the product should route to recovery instead of silently creating duplicate workspace ownership.
Commercial continuity
The plan should stay attached.
Signup should keep pricing, validation, and recovery states pointed at the same founder lane.
Path continuity
The next step should stay explicit.
Whether access is direct or reviewed, the page should make the supported next move obvious.
FAQ
Signup questions founders should not have to guess at.
This flow should explain the supported path, the fallback, and what happens when a workspace already exists.
The workspace record is created first. From there, the same route can continue into direct access or reviewed follow-through.
Validation discipline
Public signup should carry directly into the validation workspace.
The product should explain the identity step, preserve the founder record, and keep recovery obvious if a workspace already exists.
