30-day founder research

Did one of these decisions happen in your business recently?

I'm investigating three specific business decisions: reconciling disputed revenue, evaluating evidence from a paid creator campaign, and determining whether a production AI agent improved an external business result.

I'm looking for people who were directly involved in one of these decisions during the past 90 days. This is a research interview, not a software demo or waitlist.

Before you apply

A study may fit if these are true

A real decision happened in the past 90 days.
You owned, advised, performed, or were directly affected by it.
Your current systems left an important fact missing, contradictory, or hard to defend.
The business or workflow is already in use and the event involved a US context.

These studies are not for general brainstorming, pre-revenue ideas, early-access requests, or feature suggestions.

Actively recruiting

Three studies recruiting now

Choose the study that matches a recent decision you were directly involved in.

Revenue close

Reconcile one disputed revenue period

Who it's for: Business owners, operators, finance employees, fractional CFOs, and bookkeepers who handled the close.
What happened: A close, payout reconciliation, refund discrepancy, or conflicting total affected a real decision within the past 90 days.

Selected interviews pay $50 for 25–30 minutes.

Review qualifications

Creator campaigns

Verify one creator budget decision

Who it's for: Brand decision-makers, agency operators or advisors, and creators directly involved in a paid campaign decision.
What happened: Evidence from a paid creator campaign affected renewal, allocation, payment, pricing, bonus, expansion, reduction, continuation, or cancellation.

Selected interviews pay $50 for 25–30 minutes.

Review qualifications

Agent outcomes

Join agent actions to one external KPI

Who it's for: AI, engineering, product, and business owners, plus workflow operators and agencies running production agents.
What happened: Repeated work by a production agent affected an external KPI and a rollout, permission, budget, model, or renewal decision.

Selected interviews pay $50 for 25–30 minutes.

How it works

What happens after you apply

Apply with a real event

Takes about 4–6 minutes. Tell me what happened, how you were involved, and what you already tried.

Sam reviews every application

I’ll check whether the event and your role match the study before suggesting a call.

Complete the interview

If selected, we’ll schedule one 25–30 minute interview and pay you $50 after it is completed.

Keep later work separate

Any commissioned study is optional, separately scoped, and unrelated to interview payment.

Data handling

Data comes later, and only if needed

If you later commission a study, we'll agree in writing on the minimum records, who can see them, how they will be transferred, and when raw files will be deleted.

Narrow exports are used instead of broad account access.
Customer-run or local analysis is available when the study permits it.
Data unrelated to the agreed question is excluded.
Raw study data is deleted on the agreed date.
Identifying findings are never published without explicit consent.

About Sam

Why I'm doing this research

I'm Sam, the founder of Subloop. Work on content, subscribers, and revenue kept bringing me back to the same problem: important decisions often depend on incomplete or contradictory information.

These interviews help me understand how people handle those moments, what they already use, and what remains unresolved.
