Research brief
Tell the agent which ADHD founder workflow to study.
Four inputs are enough for the first version: who, what execution question, which Reddit communities, and known alternatives.
Simulated completed run
The agent assembled an ADHD-founder execution memo.
For prototype purposes this run is already complete. The timeline shows the process the paid product would perform behind the scenes, while the counters reflect this specific evidence set.
ADHD founders need continuity and prioritization, not another task list.
Public Reddit evidence points to the same operating gap from multiple angles: ADHD founders generate plenty of motion, but lose execution when ideas, priorities, time, and low-dopamine obligations are not converted into a small trusted plan.
Core problem
The job is preserving execution state when attention moves.
The evidence supports an ADHD-founder operating layer that captures ideas, chooses the next few actions, protects against overcommitment, and makes re-entry easy after distraction, waiting, or burnout.
Problems discovered
Ranked pains with inspectable quotes
Five pain clusters repeat across ADHD, founder, startup, programmer, and task-tool communities.
Competitive analysis
Planning tools help, but they do not own founder continuity.
Motion, Sunsama, Akiflow, Todoist, and Goblin Tools each solve part of the job, with visible gaps around cost, multi-tool sprawl, and durable follow-through.
