AI & Founder Guidance Transparency Statement
How AI supports founder development within Zero → 1, and the safeguards that apply.
1. Purpose
Founder Progress Ltd, trading as Zero → 1 ("Zero → 1", "we", "our", "us"), is committed to using artificial intelligence responsibly, transparently and in a way that supports founder development.
This statement explains how AI is used within Zero → 1, the role it plays in the Founder Operating System, and the safeguards we apply.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice and Website Terms of Use.
2. Our Philosophy
Zero → 1 exists to help founders build capability through structured execution.
AI is one component of that experience.
It is intended to:
- support learning;
- encourage critical thinking;
- organise information;
- provide structured guidance;
- help founders reflect on evidence and progress.
AI is designed to assist founders, not replace them.
3. How AI May Be Used
Depending on the services used, AI may assist with:
- founder guidance;
- mission support;
- idea exploration;
- business planning;
- structured feedback;
- summarising founder inputs;
- identifying themes and patterns;
- helping founders prepare plans and documentation.
AI functionality may evolve as the platform develops.
4. What AI Does Not Do
Zero → 1 does not represent AI as a substitute for professional advice.
AI does not:
- make legal decisions;
- provide regulated financial advice;
- provide investment advice;
- guarantee business success;
- make commercial decisions on behalf of founders.
Founders remain responsible for decisions made using the platform.
5. Human Responsibility
The Founder Operating System is built on the principle that founders learn through execution.
AI suggestions should be evaluated using judgement, evidence and independent thinking.
Where appropriate, founders should obtain advice from qualified professionals.
6. AI Providers
Zero → 1 uses multiple AI providers to deliver services.
Providers may change over time as technology evolves.
Where personal data is processed by third-party AI providers, we seek to implement appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.
7. Founder Content
Founders may choose to submit:
- documents;
- business plans;
- text;
- audio;
- video;
- images;
- reflections;
- Founder Memory.
This information may be processed to provide AI-assisted functionality.
Ownership of founder content remains subject to our applicable terms and policies.
8. Fairness and Responsible Use
We seek to design AI-assisted experiences that are:
- transparent;
- responsible;
- supportive;
- continually improved.
We regularly review our use of AI to reduce the risk of inaccurate, biased or misleading outputs.
9. Limitations
AI systems can make mistakes.
Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate or inappropriate in particular circumstances.
Founders should not rely solely on AI-generated information when making important decisions.
10. Continuous Improvement
We regularly review:
- AI providers;
- safeguards;
- prompts;
- user feedback;
- product design.
This statement may be updated as our services evolve.
