What it does

We benchmarked 2,488 pitch decks and found a median clarity score of just 35/100, proving that most startup deals fail on unverified assumptions rather than bad ideas. askOdin provides auditable judgment infrastructure for private capital. Founders use our Crucible engine to stress-test decks and fix logic gaps before pitching, while VCs and analysts get deterministic, auditable risk scoring with complete proof logs. Stop reading surface-level LLM summaries and start verifying judgment.

A common standard for measuring investment reasoning — so diligence lands the same way across every analyst, partner, and committee.

The memo is written. The partners have read it. When the meeting starts, the argument will turn on a number someone lifted from a deck — and nobody in the room can say who verified it, or when. That is not a rigor problem. Every firm in this market is rigorous. It is that there is no common standard for evaluating investment reasoning, so each firm invents one privately and none of them travel. askOdin is that standard: Judgment Infrastructure for measuring, standardizing, and verifying investment reasoning. The decision to allocate millions of dollars still depends on reasoning that cannot be independently measured or verified. Judgment remains the last institutional capability…from askodin.app

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
