For product managers and solution architects

Make the hidden decision buildable.

Crux connects goals, requirements, architecture, and evidence inside the agent tools you already use. It catches the assumption that would otherwise surface after the team has built the wrong thing.

A traceable loop

From goal to next decision.

Crux does not replace your roadmap, architecture tool, or coding agent. It keeps the consequential questions connected across them.

Anchor the goal

Record the outcome, owner, constraints, evidence, horizon, and stop criteria.

Observe the proposed work

Read the spec, plan, architecture, ticket, or agent action at the integration boundary.

Surface the crux

Find the smallest unresolved requirement or tradeoff that changes the next action.

Update the artifact

Carry the answer into the plan and preserve why the decision changed.

Measure the result

Track rework avoided, decision latency, first-pass acceptance, and assumptions caught.

Role-specific value

Same loop, different altitude.

Product manager

Keep outcomes, constraints, and acceptance criteria in sync.

  • Catch silent scope and priority assumptions
  • Turn stakeholder disagreement into a decision
  • Carry answers into specs and launch gates

Solution architect

Resolve the requirement that changes the system boundary.

  • Trace requirements to architecture decisions
  • Expose cost, security, and operating tradeoffs
  • Produce a reviewable handoff instead of a static diagram

Founder-led deployment

One workflow, deeply integrated.

The initial commercial motion is a scoped forward-deployed engagement. It turns a real workflow into reusable hooks, skills, evaluation cases, and a measurable operating loop.

01 · Map

Goal and decision map

Define the workflow, owners, evidence, integrations, and consequential failure modes.

02 · Integrate

One live agent path

Install the question layer in the tools and artifacts that already carry the work.

03 · Learn

Evaluation and handoff

Measure the loop, refine the skill, and leave the team with a reusable integration.

Private preview

Bring a workflow with real consequences.

We are looking for product and solution teams willing to measure whether better questions reduce wrong-work and decision latency.
