4,500 tactics, 400 techniques, 400 tech unlocks and 1,300 screened ideas, extracted from hundreds of hours of video, sourced and tagged. Download once, refresh quarterly.
Methods Library is a downloadable database of startup methods distilled from the leading founder and startup YouTube channels: 4,500 specific tactics, 400 repeatable techniques, 400 technology unlocks (what just became possible and what it enables), and 1,300 business ideas screened for solo-founder fit and automation potential. Every entry cites its sources and dates. Delivered as CSV and JSON with a local search page, refreshed quarterly. Sold by A2 Digital as a one-time purchase.
Each entry is the reusable move underneath the story: what to do, when it applies, what it needs. The story is in the source link if you want it.
Tech unlocks track the capability shifts the channels discuss (what agents, models and tools can now do) and link them to the ideas they enable.
1,300 ideas scored for whether one person can build and run them, how much automates, and which techniques they lean on. Start from the seed list, not a blank page.
Long-form episodes from the top founder channels, transcribed and read in full. Shorts and clips excluded.
Every stated and implied method pulled out as its own entry with type, context, evidence count and dates. Offhand market observations captured too.
Deduplicated into technique and unlock libraries; ideas screened against a fixed rubric for solo fit, automation share and vibe-codeability.
CSV, JSON and a single-file local search page. Open it in a browser, filter by type and fit, follow the sources. Quarterly refresh if you want it.
Prices in USD. Personal and single-company use. Entries are paraphrased methods with citations to the original public videos; the library contains no transcripts and no reproduced video content.
Five long-running founder and startup channels focused on AI businesses, building and distribution. The source index lists every channel and episode cited; the library itself paraphrases methods and links to the originals rather than reproducing them.
No. Ideas are one of four sets and the smallest in value. The techniques and tech-unlock libraries are the core: deduplicated, cross-referenced, and tagged with what each needs and enables.
It's the reading done for you, structured. Hundreds of hours become a file you can search by type, fit and date, with a link back whenever you want the full context.
CSV and JSON plus a single HTML file that searches and filters locally in your browser. No install, no account, works offline.
The purchase is the current edition. The optional quarterly refresh adds new episodes, re-curates the libraries and re-screens ideas, with a changelog.
Yes. The JSON is designed to be loaded into your own retrieval system or agent. Single-company use; ask about redistribution.
