Common questions
Quick answers to common founder questions related to this tool.
Does a high burnout score mean I should stop?
Not necessarily. It usually means your current way of working may be unsustainable and that recovery, boundaries, or structural changes should become a priority.
Why does founder burnout happen so easily?
Founders often combine uncertainty, responsibility, financial pressure, and long work hours. That mix can create strain even when the work is meaningful.
