Ask, Map, Move, for a fund of one.
We run the operating side of a fund through the Of One method: frame the decision, map where the work actually goes, then build the smallest useful piece and check it. of1.ai publishes the complete method.
Ask: name the fund decision
Before any tool is chosen, we pin down eight things: who makes the decision, the outcome they want, what is true right now, the hard limits, the levers they can actually pull, what will shift the outcome, how we will know it worked, and when they must decide.
Map: follow a deal from inbox to board seat
We trace one company’s path through the fund, from first email to memo, decision, closing, updates and the LP letter. The map shows where the partner’s hours go and where an error would cost the most.
Move: automate one step, check it by hand
We build the smallest piece that saves real time, run it beside the old way, and compare. It grows only when the checks hold.
In a block and in Build
A Consult block runs the method once, from framing to a first working piece. Build keeps running it with you. In both, you learn it well enough to use it alone.
