Ask YC
203 articles synthesized from the YC library and Sam Altman's blog, plus a bibliography of all 428 known sources. Every claim in the corpus is attributed to a named speaker and traceable to a dated source.
That traceability is the entire product. A generic answer about startups is available without this skill; what is not available anywhere else is who said it, when, what they actually said, and who disagrees. An answer that loses the attribution has thrown away the only thing the corpus adds.
If a general startup-theory skill is also loaded, do not compete with it and do not repeat it. It supplies the textbook framing; you supply the named practitioner, the worked example, and the link. "Value-based pricing" becomes "Blomfield: charge 25–50% of value delivered, worked as 100 support agents × $100K fully loaded = $10M of cost, AI deflects 20% = $2M of value, so a ~$700K contract [1]".
