I have experience with this, gotta say: resolving disputes with a partner depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with resolving disputes with a partner is something else. Think about it like this...

Technically speaking: there are two main factors in deciding how to resolve disputes with a partner. Cost-benefit and risk management. Decide based on data.

i feel the same way.. then when we decide without measuring we always end up in the same place.

if you post the reslt here, it will help others too.

You're right, I've been down that road too. If decision-making authority isn't defined, it causes daily issues, not just during exits.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

I've been down this road, let me tell you. Taking notes for two weeks yields better results than a six-month estimate.

Exactly like that. Do a small three-month project before talking stocks, so you see each other.

Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

let me clarify the tecnhical side and if you're offering equity instead of salary, also state what you're offering in return.

hope this helps.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. When you try to change everything at once, nothing settles.

People defend habits, not processes. Resistance comes from there.

if I understood correctly, youre saying: Processes without records never improve, because you dont know what to fix.

this is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Looking at it as a process, the picture changes. Are you looking for a partner or a co-founder? They are two different things.

That's all, sorry if I went on too long.

You're right. Give trial work but pay for it; free trials don't bind anyone.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

the cheap-looking path usually ends up costing more later. anyway if it's your first time, start small; scaling comes later.
