Can I edit the brief?
Yes. Open the project and choose Edit brief, then Review changes. You can compare the saved and proposed values and see which results will need review before saving. Changing only the project name does not invalidate existing research; changing research inputs creates a new brief revision. Prior results keep their original inputs and remain readable. If another device changed the project, load the latest context and compare it with your retained draft. Keeping your edits preserves unrelated newer fields; review overlapping changes before saving. Saving the brief does not start research or use an allowance.
Download your edits keeps an unfinished private edit outside the page. To recover it, choose Restore downloaded edits in the brief editor and inspect the proposed inputs. For a matching project, applying only the marked edits preserves unrelated current fields. A file’s project and version references are information to review; they do not change the open project or authorize saving. Review changes again before saving.
What if an assessment fails or its status is uncertain?
Return to the project’s assessment status and check the existing run. Use its original retry or cancellation controls instead of submitting another assessment. A technical retry retains its reservation. An unconfirmed start or stop may still settle, so keep its reference and check again; cancellation is complete only when the service confirms it stopped. Open Assessment details for phase counts, execution notes, public queries and the support reference.
Open Help with this assessment from the support-reference section for the recovery guide and an optional support note. You can also open Help from the workspace header without leaving your edits. Include project or assessment references only after reviewing them; private project content is excluded by default. A note is not submitted automatically. Download before reloading or signing out.
How do I see what changed?
For an idea assessment, open Assessment → Compare previous assessments → Compare saved versions. Choose an earlier and a later version to inspect the recommendation, recorded reasons, claims, economic assumptions and document text. A saved version can contain edits to the same earlier assessment; the comparison labels that separately from different saved research runs. It keeps the founder’s decision separate from the generated recommendation.
From a preserved Downloads version (Files in a full founder pack), Compare with latest saved context opens that pair. Older history can be loaded in pages, and changed claims can be searched. If a selected version is unavailable, choose another; the current project and open decision draft stay unchanged. The comparison does not restore a version or start research. Download comparison keeps a readable report; original attachments and document bodies are excluded, and changed brief/customer inputs need a separate opt-in.
Can I update the assessment without repeating research?
For an eligible delivered assessment, open Assessment → Request an assessment update. Describe the requested change, then review the scope: the saved research is retained with its original dates, while the recommendation, validation suggestions and two economics files are revised. A changed brief or new research inputs require fresh research instead.
Each requested update uses one assessment allowance after explicit scope review. It is reserved on start and consumed on validated delivery, including a useful hold or no-go. Technical retries keep the same reservation; use the original run’s recovery controls for a technical failure. Earlier results remain available. Reviewing an update starts no work, and live execution remains subject to account access and service availability.
How do I improve the wording of a saved result?
Open a document in Downloads (Files in a full founder pack) and choose Edit wording. Compare the original section with your draft, explain the change, review the comparison and Save edited copy. Use History for saved copies; Return to document keeps an unfinished draft in this tab. The generated original stays available. Wording edits use no assessment allowance and keep the generated recommendation, source checks and calculated numbers intact. Change numeric assumptions in Economic scenarios before requesting revised analysis.
In Review your export, expand Include founder-edited copies and choose the exact saved versions to add alongside the generated originals. Review the changed wording and confirm the selection. Edit reasons are private notes and stay excluded unless selected separately. A copy based on a different original needs review and merging before export. The ZIP includes labeled reading paths for both copies and originals; it does not label edited wording as newly verified analysis.
Can I request a rewrite of one section?
Eligible accounts can request an AI wording proposal from a delivered document. In Edit wording, choose a section, then open AI assistance · 1 allowance. Describe the change and review the exact private draft shared with the editor. One assessment allowance is reserved at start and consumed when a validated proposal is delivered, even if you leave it unused. Technical retries retain that reservation. Availability and allowance eligibility are checked before work starts.
Compare the proposal with its original and your current draft. If you edited that section while waiting, replacing it requires an explicit choice; other current sections stay intact. Using a proposal changes only the unsaved draft. Review the full comparison and save a separately labeled revision when ready. The generated assessment, source checks and calculated numbers remain available. New research or a changed recommendation/model needs its own reviewed workflow.
AI wording still needs factual review: preserving numeric and link tokens does not prove meaning or source support. Saved copies retain their AI origins. A selected ZIP copy is labeled AI-assisted, while rewrite instructions are not added as metadata to that handoff. Review the selected wording for private text. Full private project/account archives include retained instructions and proposals. If a start is unconfirmed, keep its recovery file and check or prevent that exact reference before changing scope.
Can I use saved work for another idea?
For an accessible saved project, choose Copy to a new project from Projects or its overview. Review the new name and brief, then choose whether to include capital, attached notes and current founder sources. The new project starts as an independent assessment draft, with the sources’ original text, dates and revision references. Research results, decisions and public sites are excluded. Creating the draft leaves account allowances unchanged; research is a separate authorized step.
If creation is not confirmed, use Check copy status or Retry same copy. The page keeps its copy reference for recovery after reload. Changes and removal are separate for each project: removing the original does not erase inputs you deliberately copied into another idea.
