Route any startup strategy, network state, geopolitical analysis, technology opportunity, or media/truth question to the right skill, framework, or source search. Use when someone asks about startups, idea mazes, network states, crypto, decentralization, geopolitics, media alignment, truth verification, citizen journalism, or says 'ask balaji,' 'what would balaji say,' 'balaji's framework for,' 'network state,' 'tripolar world,' 'idea maze,' or 'startup society.'

Evaluate whether a narrative is being used as a 'founding murder' to justify expansion of political power. Use when someone says 'is this narrative being weaponized,' 'atrocity story analysis,' 'is this a power grab,' 'founding murder pattern,' 'is this crisis real or manufactured,' 'who benefits from this narrative,' or 'is the government using fear to expand power.' Checks for the pattern: bad event -> expansion of state force -> ignoring deaths caused by that force.

Evaluate the push-pull forces between decentralization and recentralization on any system. Use when someone says 'is this decentralizing or centralizing,' 'what forces are pushing toward decentralization,' 'recentralization analysis,' 'should we centralize or decentralize,' 'what's happening to this institution,' or 'internet effects on this system.' Maps sociopolitical and technoeconomic forces.

Map the full idea maze for any startup concept. Use when someone says 'evaluate my startup idea,' 'what's the idea maze for X,' 'who else has tried this,' 'why hasn't this been done before,' or 'help me think through my startup.' Walks through dead companies, live competitors, technology shifts, and the specific path forward.

Evaluate a media outlet's incentive alignment between reader benefit and revenue model. Use when someone says 'is this media outlet trustworthy,' 'media bias analysis,' 'who funds this publication,' 'media incentive alignment,' 'is this journalism or propaganda,' 'media business model analysis,' 'why does this outlet publish what it publishes,' or 'how to evaluate a news source.' Maps the gap between what readers need and what the business model rewards.

Design a network state from scratch using Balaji's full definition. Use when someone says 'design my network state,' 'how do I build a network state,' 'network state blueprint,' 'what components does a network state need,' 'help me plan a new country,' or 'I want to start a digital nation.' Walks through all 10+ components from social network to diplomatic recognition.

Help a founder identify and articulate their startup society's single moral premise - the one commandment. Use when someone says 'what should my community be about,' 'how do I define my startup society,' 'one commandment for my community,' 'network state moral innovation,' 'what's my movement's core belief,' or 'help me build a startup society.' Tests whether the commandment can sustain a community and determines which tier it requires.

Evaluate whether building a parallel system beats reforming an existing one. Use when someone says 'should I try to fix the system or build something new,' 'exit vs voice,' 'parallel society,' 'build vs reform,' 'when to fork,' 'opt-in alternative,' or 'is it worth trying to change this institution.' Uses historical precedents from USSR/USA, Deng Xiaoping, and Singapore.

Map any industry on the physical-to-digital spectrum and find opportunities at the 'scanned version' stage. Use when someone says 'where is my industry on digital transformation,' 'what's the native digital version of X,' 'how do I digitize my business,' 'find the scanned PDF equivalent in my field,' or 'physical to digital opportunities.' Identifies where industries are stuck at intermediate digitization.

Plan the evolution from a temporary gathering to a permanent community using the Zuzalu model. Use when someone says 'how do I turn my event into a community,' 'popup city planning,' 'Zuzalu model,' 'temporary to permanent community,' 'internet community meetup,' 'how to go from online to offline,' or 'plan a popup.' Maps the progression from one-time event to recurring popup to permanent settlement.

Map the progression from startup society to network state. Use when someone says 'what stage is my community at,' 'how do I get from startup society to network state,' 'network union vs network archipelago,' 'staging plan for my community,' 'what comes after building an online community,' or 'how to scale a startup society.' Identifies current stage and prescribes next milestones.

Find startup opportunities by scanning for underexplored technology applications. Use when someone says 'where are the opportunities,' 'what should I build,' 'find me a startup idea,' 'what technologies are underappreciated,' or 'where hasn't technology moved in yet.' Applies Balaji's three-source framework for finding overlooked opportunities.

Map any geopolitical event, technology, or institution onto the NYT/CCP/BTC tripolar framework. Use when someone says 'analyze this geopolitically,' 'where does this fit in the tripolar world,' 'NYT CCP BTC analysis,' 'which pole benefits from this,' 'tripolar framework,' 'geopolitical positioning,' or 'is this Woke Capital, Communist Capital, or Crypto Capital.' Identifies which pole benefits, which loses, and where to position.

Classify any claim as scientific, technical, political, economic, or cryptographic truth and identify the appropriate verification method. Use when someone says 'how do I verify this claim,' 'is this actually true,' 'what kind of truth is this,' 'truth type classification,' 'how to check this,' 'what evidence would prove this,' or 'scientific vs political truth.' Applies Balaji's five truth types taxonomy.

Identify the single function that creates the most value in a business. Use when someone says 'what's the core of my business,' 'how do I find my billion-dollar function,' 'what should I focus on,' 'can my company be reduced to one function,' or 'what creates the most value in my startup.' Reduces a company to its essential value-creating operation.

Evaluate whether a startup should go full-stack (vertically integrated) or sell a single layer. Use when someone says 'should I vertically integrate,' 'full stack vs. API,' 'should I own the whole stack,' 'build vs. partner,' or 'Counsyl model.' Walks through the build-buy-partner decision for each layer of the stack.
