Getting Started
What TrueCompanyOS is, how it learns, and the full system flow.
What TrueCompanyOS is
Turn scattered company knowledge into one approved company brain and reusable business assets.
What it does
TrueCompanyOS helps founders turn scattered company knowledge into one approved company brain and reusable business assets.
Instead of re-explaining the company in every sales call, investor meeting, or team update, you build approved company knowledge once — then reuse it across pitches, playbooks, briefs, and stakeholder outputs.
What it is not
- Not just a writing tool — it separates raw material, structured inputs, approved knowledge, and finished assets.
- Not just a notes app — source material stays separate until you approve what is true.
- Not only a form builder — structured fields and approved conclusions both feed the same approved knowledge layer.
Who it is for
- Founders preparing for sales conversations
- Founders raising capital who need a consistent investor narrative
- Solo founders or small teams without a full marketing agency
- Founders onboarding salespeople, hires, or advisors
- Anyone tired of being the only person who can explain the company clearly
System model
How TrueCompanyOS learns
Two knowledge paths — structured fields and source material — combine into approved company knowledge.
Two learning paths
TrueCompanyOS learns in two ways. Both paths feed the same approved company knowledge layer. Neither path replaces the other.
Path A: Structured fields
The most direct way to teach the system. You manually complete and approve structured areas:
- Company Specs
- Customer Profiles
- Positioning
- Pitch Library
- Proof Library
- Objections
- Competitors
- Sales Readiness
- Investor Narrative
- Stakeholder Management (Team plan)
Path B: Source material
You add raw source material to Company Knowledge Base — documents, call transcripts, notes, website copy, decks, strategy files, customer feedback, investor notes, and competitor research.
- TrueCompanyOS extracts suggested conclusions from source material.
- You review, edit, reject, or approve them.
- Only approved conclusions from source material can strengthen the company brain and assets.
The combined model
Approved company knowledge feeds Company Overview, Source of Truth, Company Brain Map, Assets Engine, and sales, investor, customer, proof, objection, competitor, and stakeholder outputs.
The full system flow
How structured inputs, Knowledge Base conclusions, and assets connect.
Main flow
- Structured fields (Company Specs, Customer Profiles, Positioning, Pitch, Proof, Objections, Competitors, Sales Readiness, Investor Narrative)
- Company Knowledge Base approved conclusions
- → Source of Truth
- → Company Overview
- → Company Brain Map
- → Assets Engine
- → Sales, Investor, Customer, Proof, Objection, Competitor, and Stakeholder outputs
Knowledge Base sub-flow
- Raw source material
- → Extracted suggestions
- → Approved conclusions
- → Approved company knowledge

Dashboard & readiness scores
What the dashboard shows and how readiness scores guide your next step.
The dashboard
Your dashboard is the command center. It shows readiness across Company Specs, structured modules, Knowledge Base review, and Assets Engine — plus the single most important action to take next.
Readiness scores
- Company clarity
- How clearly your core company information is defined and approved.
- Pitch clarity
- How ready your pitches are for different audiences and contexts.
- Sales readiness
- How prepared your company is for repeatable sales conversations.
- Investor narrative
- How complete your investor story is across key topics.
- Proof strength
- How much approved proof backs up your claims.
- Team transferability
- How easily someone else could explain and sell your company without you.
Knowledge Model
Approved company knowledge, approved conclusions, and why approval matters.
Why approved knowledge matters
Approved knowledge tells TrueCompanyOS what is safe to reuse.
What approved knowledge includes
- Approved structured records (Company Specs, Customer Profiles, Positioning, and more)
- Approved language and one-liners
- Approved positioning and pitches
- Approved proof, objections, and competitor differentiation
- Approved conclusions from Company Knowledge Base source material
Why it matters
Approved knowledge tells TrueCompanyOS what is safe to reuse in Source of Truth, Company Overview, and Assets Engine. Unapproved drafts and raw source material stay out of finished assets until you approve them.
What approved conclusions are
Reusable insights extracted from Company Knowledge Base source material.
Definition
Approved conclusions are reusable insights extracted from source material in Company Knowledge Base. They are the bridge between raw material and approved company knowledge.
They are not the only way the system learns. Structured fields are equally important. Approved conclusions matter when you add documents, transcripts, notes, decks, website copy, investor notes, customer feedback, or competitor research.
Trust rule
Wrong company or context
If source material is from another company or context, keep conclusions reference-only or reject them. Do not approve conclusions that do not belong to your company.
Product Modules
Company Knowledge Base, Source of Truth, structured fields, and each workspace module.
Company Knowledge Base
The source engine for raw material and approved conclusions.
What it is
Company Knowledge Base is the source engine. It stores raw source material separately from Source of Truth. TrueCompanyOS extracts suggested conclusions; you decide what becomes approved company knowledge.
What you can add
- Pasted text
- Call transcripts
- .txt and .md files
- .docx files
- Website copy pasted with URL reference
- Strategy notes, pitch deck text, investor notes
- Customer feedback, competitor research, agency briefs
Workflow
- Add source material
- Extract conclusions
- Review suggestions
- Approve, edit, or reject
- Approved conclusions can strengthen company knowledge and assets
Source statuses
- Added
- Source material saved, not yet extracted.
- Extracted
- Conclusions suggested, ready for review.
- Needs review
- Extractions waiting for your decision.
- Approved conclusions
- Conclusions you approved for reuse.
- Archived
- Retired source kept for reference.
Source of Truth
Approved reusable company knowledge — not raw notes.
What it is
Source of Truth contains approved reusable company knowledge. It is the approved layer — not the raw notes area.
What it can include
- Approved structured fields
- Approved one-liners and positioning
- Approved pitch versions
- Approved proof, objections, and competitor differentiation
- Approved conclusions from Company Knowledge Base
What it feeds
- Company Overview
- Company Brain Map
- Assets Engine
- Sales, investor, and customer assets
Company Brain

Common Mistakes
Mistakes founders make and how to correct them.
Common mistakes
Seven mistakes founders make and how to correct them.
Mistakes and corrections
- Thinking source material automatically becomes truth
- Correction: source material must be extracted and conclusions approved first.
- Approving conclusions from the wrong company or context
- Correction: keep them reference-only or reject them.
- Completing fields but not approving final reusable language
- Correction: approve what should feed Source of Truth and assets.
- Generating investor assets without proof or traction
- Correction: the system will show gaps, not invent evidence.
- Treating Founder Pro as a team tier
- Correction: Founder Pro is depth and capacity. Team is stakeholder and team communication.
- Adding only direct competitors
- Correction: alternatives include docs, AI tools, spreadsheets, agencies, internal processes, and doing nothing.
- Ignoring proof gaps
- Correction: proof gaps tell you what evidence to collect next.

Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to resolve them.
Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to resolve them.
I cannot sign up
If sign-up fails, check that Supabase is correctly configured in your deployment environment. Verify that auth is enabled and email confirmation settings match your setup.
My account profile is not ready
This can happen if your user account was created before the profile trigger completed. Try signing out and signing in again. If the issue persists, contact support.
Draft generation is not working
Possible causes:
- Draft provider key is missing or invalid in the server environment
- You have reached your monthly plan draft limit
- A server error occurred — try again in a moment
Billing does not update after payment
Possible causes:
- Stripe webhook is not configured in your deployment
- Webhook secret is incorrect
- Subscription event was not received — check Stripe dashboard logs
I changed language but old content did not change
Existing approved content remains as written. Language changes affect new draft generations and UI translations. To update old content, edit and re-approve items in the relevant modules.
