Quick Start
Follow the canonical Founder Path and use this kit to record each open question, supporting evidence and the person who can confirm it.
- Use the free Fit Check for a first structural result.
- Stop when a lawful-status or Beijing-scope gate fails.
- Escalate sector, data or property triggers instead of guessing.
Founder pre-flight
Write down the intended activity, ownership, business category, China-user exposure, target timing, current entity status and which tasks must begin from abroad.
Status + Entity dependency map
Separate work and residence permissions from company formation, then identify what can start remotely and what requires the founder's physical presence.
Money + Data & AI gates
Prepare one brief for the bank and accountant and another for data flows, users, hosting, APIs and overseas recipients. Do not ask one adviser to answer every layer.
Connectivity + Place
Turn a real address into a carrier-ready brief. For a rural base, test registration, utilities, winter heating, transport, medical access and the route to a village or property-side confirmation.
30/60/90-day sequence
First 30 days: settle lawful status and factual briefs. By day 60: confirm entity, address, money and data dependencies. By day 90: execute only the verified route and record what changed.
