Questions
The things leaders ask before they start. If yours is not here, just ask.
The short version. CTRL is a private thinking instrument. It holds your thinking, not your company's data.
If you would write it in a notebook you carry home, put it in CTRL. If it belongs in your company's systems, put it there.
What it is
-
What does CTRL actually do?
It reads the AI world through what you are actually deciding, gives you a short daily read or listen, helps you weigh one real call against evidence, and remembers the context you would otherwise repeat to every AI tool.
-
Who is it for?
One person. A founder or small-team CEO who is still close to the work and the important calls, and who wants the decision improved rather than the work outsourced.
-
Will it decide for me?
No. It checks the evidence, shows you where the tensions are, and makes the boundary of its own confidence visible. The call stays yours.
-
How long does setup take?
It works the moment you sign in. Nothing to install, nothing to connect, nothing for anyone to approve. The intake asks one question at a time, by voice or text, and you can skip any of it.
Your thinking
-
Where does my data live?
On your own account, encrypted, and only you can see it. You can export the whole thing or delete it whenever you want.
-
Is it private?
Yours alone. There is no team view, no shared workspace, and no other account can reach it.
-
Do you train on it?
No. Your content is not used to train models.
-
Can I take it with me?
Yes. Everything exports as JSON or Markdown, formatted so ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor or Claude Code can read it directly. Context you cannot take with you is not really yours.
-
Does it connect to my company's systems?
No, and that is deliberate. It works from a browser and sends what is useful to your inbox. If you want it inside your own AI client, Edge Pro exposes a read-only feed that runs there, with nothing to approve.
-
Can I think something through without it being kept?
Yes. Turn on off the record and nothing from that session is saved: no memory, no evidence, no influence on tomorrow's briefing. CTRL tells you plainly when a session saved nothing.
Using it
-
Can I get this for my leadership team?
CTRL is built for one person, so there is no team version. If what you want is to change how the team decides, that is an engagement rather than a subscription. Mindmaker works with your company. CTRL works with you.
-
Can I expense it?
You can. Most people use a personal card and keep it out of the company tooling conversation entirely. It is yours either way.
-
Is this a way to sell me consulting?
Some people who use CTRL end up working with Krish. Most do not. It has to be worth using on its own or it is not worth building.
-
What does it cost?
Free is a real product and stays free: the daily read, memory, Blind Spot reflections, and three full decision weighs a month. Edge Pro is the decision tier. See pricing.
