Stage 1: IDEA

Kit: Idea OS (Free)

What happens:

• Define your idea, problem, customer
• Research competitors automatically
• Generate Mom Test interview questions
• Talk to potential customers
• Get a PMF score (0-100)

Output: GO / CONDITIONAL GO / STOP decision

Handoff: When score >= 70, Idea OS recommends moving to Build

---

Stage 2: BUILD

Kits:

• SaaS Dev Team — Full-stack web app
• Landing Page — Landing page (Coming Soon)

What happens:

• Set up local development
• Configure auth, database, payments
• Build your first features
• Deploy to production

Output: Working product in production

Handoff: Once live with users, move to PMF OS

---

Stage 3: PMF

Kit: PMF OS

What happens:

• Diagnose why users leave
• Find the "magic number" (action that predicts retention)
• Run experiments
• Measure PMF (Sean Ellis test)

Output: PMF score. 40%+ "very disappointed" = PMF achieved

Handoff: When PMF achieved, move to Marketing OS (scale mode)

---

Stage 4: SCALE

Kit: Marketing OS

What happens:

• Scale user acquisition
• Paid ads, aggressive SEO
• Product launches
• Community building
• Viral loops

Output: Growing user base

---

Stage 5: RETAIN

Kit: Success OS

What happens:

• Identify at-risk users
• Lifecycle email campaigns
• Engagement campaigns
• Testimonials and reviews

Output: Lower churn, higher LTV

---

How Kits Share Context

Kits share information through a shared context layer (~/.aiorg/).

~/.aiorg/projects/taskflow/
├── context.json    # Business context
└── learnings.json  # Cross-kit learnings

This means:

• Idea OS records your validation score
• PMF OS reads that score and adapts advice
• Marketing OS knows your target customer
• Success OS knows your PMF status

No re-explaining. Each kit picks up where the last one left off.

Alternative Paths

Skip Idea OS (AI Builder Path)

If building costs a weekend, you might skip validation:

[Build with AI] → PMF OS → Marketing OS

Start with Marketing (Creator Path)

If you have an audience:

Marketing OS (audience) → Idea OS (what to build) → [Build] → Success OS

Indie Hacker Path

Build fast, learn from real users:

[Build fast] → Marketing OS (soft launch) → PMF OS → Marketing OS (scale)

---

Support Kits

These kits support any stage:

• QA Team — Test your app at any stage
• Investor OS — Personal investing (standalone)
