Cohort Pulse — weekly check-ins from every founder

What's new

• 3-question default template — What progressed this week? What's blocked? What kind of help would unblock it? Customize the wording or swap the questions per cohort.
• 30-second answer flow — short text fields, optional emoji rating, no login required for the cohort.
• Heat-map view — five weeks of cohort pulse data at a glance. Greens are on-track; ambers are slow; reds are stuck.
• Auto-flags — anyone who reports the same blocker two weeks in a row gets surfaced to the program manager.

Why it matters

Most cohort check-ins happen too late — by the time you hear about a problem, the founder has burned three weeks on it. A 30-second weekly pulse is friction-light enough that founders actually answer, and the heat-map makes it obvious where to spend your office hours.
