The AI Acumen Toolkit Manifesto

​
1. Overview

The AI Acumen Toolkit is Fiftyknots’ comprehensive infrastructure for building ventures. It spans 100+ pages and 400+ API endpoints that power every stage of your venture journey - from quick-start wizards and ICP validation to execution dashboards and team collaboration. This manifesto represents the complete platform architecture that drives your path from concept to traction.

​
2. Step-by-Step Guide

Accessing Your Toolkit:
  1. Start with Quick Start - Navigate to /quickstart after login. This wizard captures your venture concept and creates your first job. You’ll answer guided questions about your idea, market, and goals.
  2. Complete the Wizard - The system routes you through /wizard to build your venture profile. Answer questions about your ICP, value proposition, and resources. The wizard adapts based on your responses.
  3. Review Your Dashboard - Land on /dashboard/overview to see your venture snapshot. Track momentum metrics, confidence scores, and next recommended actions. The narrative dashboard shows your progress story.
  4. Build Your Brief - Use /briefreview to review AI-generated briefs from your inputs. The platform extracts and enhances your venture brief automatically. Confirm or request corrections.
  5. Choose Your Journey - Access /journeyoverview to see your stage-based roadmap. Select your ICP category at /icpselection to customize your path. Each journey adapts to your venture type.
  6. Work Your Tasks - Navigate to /lifecyclejourney to see active tasks. Complete evidence-based milestones. The platform tracks your graduation criteria automatically.
  7. Access AI Support - Use /supasherpa anytime for AI guidance. Supa Sherpa provides context-aware recommendations, unblocks decisions, and suggests next actions based on your current stage.
Engaging Sherpas:
  1. Request Expert Review - When you hit planning milestones, the system triggers /sherpaplanningreview. Your assigned Sherpa reviews artifacts and provides structured feedback.
  2. Collaborate in Real-Time - Use /collaborativeworkspace for live editing sessions with your Sherpa. Track changes, respond to feedback, and iterate together.
  3. Track Your Progress - Monitor execution at /executiondashboard. See milestone completion, time tracking, and deliverable status across your venture journey.
Building Your Venture:
  1. Validate Your CVP - Access /cvpdashboard to test customer value propositions. Generate synthetic ICP profiles at /syntheticicpdashboard and run validation batches.
  2. Document Everything - Your data room at /dataroomlist organizes all venture artifacts. The AI architect at /data-room/:id/architect ensures readiness for each stage.
  3. Develop Specifications - Review technical specs at /specreview. The platform generates FRS, TRS, and BRS documents. Sherpas review at /sherpaplanningreview before development proceeds.
  4. Track Quality Gates - Monitor confidence reports at /confidencereport/confidencereport. The system assesses readiness before stage transitions. Address blockers before graduation.
  5. Manage Your Team - If building with a squad, use /venturesquad to invite collaborators. Track team tasks at /teamprojectlist and communicate at project-specific channels.

​
3. Common Questions

Q: What happens after I complete the quick-start wizard?
The platform creates your job record and routes you to /wizardcomplete. Your venture appears in your dashboard. The system initializes your lifecycle journey based on your ICP selection. You receive your first task assignments and can access Supa Sherpa for guidance immediately. Q: How do I know when I’m ready to advance to the next stage?
Check /confidencereport/confidencereport for your current assessment. The platform evaluates completion criteria, artifact quality, and risk factors. Green confidence scores indicate readiness. You’ll see graduation triggers at /lifecycle/jobs/:jobId/graduation-trigger when all conditions are met. Q: What’s the difference between the Brief and the Charter?
The Brief at /briefreview captures your venture concept, ICP, and CVP - extracted from your inputs. The Charter at /charter is your validated venture blueprint - generated after Brief confirmation and early validation work. The Charter certifies you’re ready for structured development. Q: Can I change my ICP category after starting?
Yes, but with oversight. Navigate to /icpselection to review options. Admins can update via /lifecycle/admin/users/:userId/update-icp. Changing your ICP resets your journey path and graduation criteria. Your progress may need re-evaluation under the new framework. Q: How do I get a Sherpa assigned to my venture?
The platform auto-matches Sherpas based on your needs, stage, and their expertise. View matching at /sherpa-matching/sherpa-matching/:jobId/candidates. Confirm your Sherpa at the same endpoint. If you need escalation support, use /sherpa/escalations to request senior guidance.

4. Troubleshooting

Issue: My wizard session appears stuck or incomplete
Solution: Check /wizard/sessions/:jobId to see your current state. Use the navigate endpoint to move between steps. If the session is corrupted, delete at /wizard/sessions/:jobId and restart at /quickstart. Your partial data persists in your job record. Issue: Confidence report shows red scores but I’ve completed all tasks
Solution: Navigate to /confidencereport/confidencereport and review specific dimension scores. Red indicates quality issues, not just completion. Check /lifecycle/jobs/:jobId/blocking-tasks for hidden dependencies. Request Sherpa review at /sherpaplanningreview to identify gaps. Issue: Data room documents aren’t organizing properly
Solution: Use /data-room/:id/organize to trigger the AI architect agent. Check /data-room/:id/agent-runs to see processing status. If sections remain empty, verify documents uploaded correctly at /data-room/:dataRoomId/documents. Re-trigger processing at /data-room/:dataRoomId/reprocess-documents. Issue: Team invitations aren’t reaching collaborators
Solution: Verify invitations sent at /venture-squad/jobs/:jobId/invitations. Collaborators must redeem at /inviteredemption using their unique token. Check email delivery logs at /email-tracking/analytics/:emailQueueId. Resend failed invitations or share redemption links directly. Supa Sherpa - Your AI venture advisor lives at /supasherpa. Access context-aware guidance, momentum tracking, and next-action recommendations anytime. Supa Sherpa connects to your entire toolkit - pulling data from your journey, confidence reports, and task progress to provide tailored advice. Use briefing mode for morning updates or ask specific questions about blockers. Data Room Architect - The AI architect at /data-room/:id/architect/design continuously evaluates your venture readiness. It audits document completeness, generates gap analyses, and builds stage-specific content. The readiness dashboard shows benchmarks against successful ventures at your stage. Connect this to your confidence reports for a complete quality picture. CVP Validation Engine - Test your value propositions rigorously at /cvpvalidationdashboard. Generate synthetic customer profiles, run A/B tests on messaging, and compare segment responses. Results feed directly into your Brief and Charter. Use validation insights to refine your ICP before committing to development work.
