Halyard
Manually verified · 28 JulSold as a yearly plan to cruisers. Seasonal, which makes the experiments harder to read.
Run byHenrique Y. AlvesNo updates yet. The first one lands at the end of this week.
Where backers and the founder talk.
Questions before the weekly call, arguments about which idea should run next, and the founder thinking out loud between updates. Open to anyone backing Halyard, and closed to everyone else — including us, except where a decision it produced is published.
It opens with accounts. Until then there is nothing to sign in to and nothing to read, which is why there is no empty box here pretending otherwise.
You cannot write one here yet. Suggesting an experiment is what the upper tiers are for, and the form for it is not built — during the pilot, ideas reach a founder through whatever channel you already have with them. If you are paying for a tier that promises this, it is not working yet, and that is our fault rather than yours.
Nobody has suggested an idea yet. Backers write them up and the founder picks one.
No experiment has finished yet. The first result publishes at the end of the month — whichever way it lands.
You are not backing them yet, so you are seeing the public version of this page.

Marked promises are not built yet. The pilot has no accounts, no ballot, no calendar and no second payment path, so anything needing one of those cannot be delivered however much you pay — if a founder honours it, that is them doing it by hand. We have left these on the tiers rather than quietly removing them, because deleting a promise would hide the gap from anyone who had already paid for it.

- You can put extra money behind an experiment that has been picked, if the founder agrees to it. It goes straight to them, the same way your monthly payment does, and it earns you no more of a return than that one does.not built yet

Co-funding contributions are separate one-off payments to specific approved experiments. Each one requires the founder's approval, and none is refundable once the experiment runs.

Joining the waitlist gets you an email. It is not an option, a promise, or a queue position.
Loyalty earns recognition and access only — a badge on your name, earlier access to call seats. Cancelling resets the streak; it never affects money already spent.

Named, not hidden. A page that concealed the existence of these would be presenting itself as the whole story; a page that showed them would make the tier meaningless.
Thesis never holds your money — the founder's own payment provider collects all of it, and we check how the experiment share is spent. The 15% platform line is what running this site would cost. There is no way to collect it during the pilot, so today that share stays with the founder too.
