I want to share a progress update on what has been happening behind the scenes with the Circle of Founders website.
When we started building circle-of-founders.com, the goal was not just a landing page. The goal was a complete ecosystem platform that serves founders before, during, and after they join. Here is what is live right now.
The Founder Time Audit
This is an AI powered voice diagnostic. You sit down with Archer, our AI diagnostic advisor, and have a real conversation about your business. Not a quiz. Not a form. A structured 15 minute voice conversation that covers nine areas of your operation: from how revenue is generated to where delegation has stalled to when you last fully disconnected.
At the end, you get a branded PDF report showing exactly where founder dependency lives in your business, your top three time leaks, and a specific starting point. The methodology behind it is the same framework we use inside the membership.
It is free. It takes 15 minutes. And the report gives you something you can act on immediately.
The Founder Time Value Calculator
This one is for the data driven founders. Twelve questions. Three minutes. Four personalised metrics: your revenue per hour, your strategic time percentage, your hours recoverable, and your buried capacity (the annual value of time currently absorbed by work that should not require you).
It also generates a personalised investment case showing the ROI of reclaiming even a fraction of that time. You get a downloadable PDF with all of it.
The Full Website
The homepage walks through the structural problem most founders face, the cost of founder dependency backed by real data, the 4 Day Founder Model, the Four Pillars, pricing, and a direct path to either tool or membership. It is built to do one thing: help a serious founder decide whether this is the right environment for them.
We also launched a Contact page, a Voice of Founders section, and a Founding Member page with a direct path to booking a clarity call.
Behind the Scenes: The Admin Dashboard
This part is not visible to members, but it is what allows us to make better decisions for the community. We built a full analytics dashboard that tracks:
Real time site traffic with bot and internal filtering so we only see actual human visitors. Conversion funnels showing exactly where people drop off in the Time Audit and Calculator flows. Lead source attribution so we know which channels are actually producing results. Form submission tracking across all of our tools. Geographic audience data showing where founders are visiting from.
All of this runs on a persistent database that does not reset, with secure authentication for the team.
What Is Coming
A blog section with long form content from Christian and the team. Lead magnet sections integrated directly into the homepage flow so visitors discover the tools naturally, not just through the navigation. Homepage refinements based on real data from the dashboard. And eventually, a member login so you can access your audit history, saved calculator results, and a personal dashboard directly on the site.
Why This Matters
Everything we build is designed to do one thing: remove the founder as the bottleneck. The tools help you measure the problem. The membership helps you fix it. The website is the bridge between recognising the pattern and doing something about it.
If you have not tried either tool yet, start with whichever one fits your style. The calculator if you want data. The audit if you want a conversation.
Both are free. Both are yours to keep.
