Before the First Trial, What Should Co-Founders Agree On?

One co-founder spots an opportunity and wants to try it this week. The other is interested, but wants to know what they’re being asked to take on—and what happens if the test creates more work than expected.

What’s the smallest agreement you’d want before starting together? Would you first clarify who owns the follow-up, how much time each person is offering, what should stay unchanged, or when you’ll decide whether to continue?

I’m curious where you draw the line between enough clarity to begin and so much planning that the experiment never starts.
