Tech founder legacy documentation

Create a service that preserves and structures technical founder stories and architecture decisions. Helps teams understand system evolution.

Why now

As infrastructure architects retire, their institutional knowledge disappears.

Effort
A few weeks

Critical system knowledge often exists only in architects' heads and gets lost when they leave.

Build an interview-based service that extracts technical narratives, decisions, and system maps from infrastructure pioneers.

Sell to enterprises wanting to preserve IP and startups wanting to document technical debt.

Start by offering structured interviews for single systems, then expand to knowledge base hosting.

Risk is convincing busy engineers to participate in documentation.
