How it works

“I have an idea”

You know what you want to build, not who you need yet.

Maya is a composite of founders we've met: a university senior with a food-truck ordering app, and no one to write the marketing plan, model the finances or check the permit rules.

Step 1 of 5

Five quick taps

Start with the readiness check: five one-tap questions, about 90 seconds, with instant feedback. No account needed.

Step 2 of 5

Three quick questions

After you sign up: what you're building, what you can do yourself, and what's in your way. An idea is enough; you don't need a company or a plan.

Step 3 of 5

Your first map

Your first map in about a minute: what you cover, the roles that are open, and what can wait. SPYN's rules build it from your own answers; AI is only used if you turn it on.

Step 4 of 5

Go deeper when you're ready

Each card is one question, with why it matters to a future partner. Answer as many as you like; your map improves as you go.

Step 5 of 5

Your capability-gap draft

What's covered, what's missing, and the kind of relationship that might fit each gap. Edit anything: Maya fixed two lines the draft got wrong, and every edit is saved as a new version.

You walk away with

A private map of what you cover and what's missing, and a capability-gap draft you can edit.

It asks of you

About 10 minutes for the first map. You describe the problem, your customer and what you can do today. Everything stays private to you.

  1. Private by default. Your answers are visible only to you.
  2. You approve what's shared. Others see only a brief you approved, never your answers.
  3. Names only after both say yes. Contact details only when each of you chooses.

AI drafting is optional. If you turn it on, the answers a draft needs are sent from our server to our AI provider (currently Google Gemini); otherwise a rules engine on our server drafts it.
