How the roll-up gate works
How the Can You Explain Your Own App gate works
This tool grades each area of your app on whether you can name the answer and have actually seen it. It reads 9 areas and rolls them into one verdict — the worst, never the average — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 9 areas
An answer you can state but have never looked at is worse than an honest blank. A blank you know about gets checked; a belief you are confident in does not. So GOING ON BELIEF sits below CANNOT EXPLAIN IT, and an area whose seen-it answer could not be found resolves to belief rather than knowledge.
Why: Three of nine areas are answers this founder can state but has never actually looked at — and that ranks below the three they simply cannot answer, because a blank you know about gets checked and a belief does not. Two areas are genuinely known. One does not apply to this app and never counts against it.
No single area is the crisis — the clustering is. The roll-up takes the worst, the gate escalates when trouble compounds, and where something is short, the fix first row names it. Grades what you can account for about your own app, never a person. It reads back what you tell it, using rules you can see.
