How to pivot a startup idea without losing the work
A pivot can make months of work feel obsolete. In reality, parts of the audience research, product decisions, brand exploration, and technical foundation often remain valuable if they are easy to find and reassess.
The setup
A simple way to run it in Hark
- 01Record the pivot decision
Add a decision entry with the evidence, rationale, and assumptions behind the change.
- 02Revise the project
Update the problem, solution, audience, model, and risks while keeping the prior reasoning in the journal.
- 03Reset Current state
Write the new phase, current summary, next actions, and open questions so execution follows the new direction.
- 04Keep reusable proof
Retain links, files, metrics, and shipped work that still support the revised idea.

- Can I use this setup for an existing startup pivot?
- Yes. Import a conversation or brain dump, review the drafted project, and connect the repository when you are ready. You do not have to start from scratch.
- Do all collaborators and agents see the same information?
- They work from the same Hark project and Current state, subject to the workspace and project permissions you choose.
- Can I try this without adding a card?
- Yes. Hark starts with a 14-day card-free trial, and your work remains readable if the trial ends before you choose a plan.
