I’m a 2x defense founder and aerospace engineer. I initially built CaptureAgent for my own company, but now I want to share it with other founders.

I see startups and the small-business industrial base as one of America’s secret weapons, but small business win rate for federal funding is between 17-22% annually and competing for funding can push founders a…

I wrote a simple "trivia" game to get a sense about how well calibrated you are in terms of how well you know things: https://est.alejo.ch You get ten simple "what happened first" questions and give a confidence level (for each answer). The game tracks your success rates per confidence level and gives you a calibration graph/table (e.g., "you consistently over-estimate your success rate"). You can play multiple times to see aggregated statistics. After 60 games (480 questions), I found out that I am relatively well-calibrated, though I should ~never bet under 60% (for this specific type of bi…
