Turn a curious developer into an activated one: the docs, the quickstart, and the first-run experience that gets them to their first real win fast, and back again. Use when people sign up or star the repo but never get it working, come once and never return, or you're about to pour traffic into a first-run that leaks.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Time to first value (get them to the first win) > For a dev tool, the product is the pitch. A developer tries it alone and decides in minutes. Acquisition without activation is just a faster way to lose people. **Use this when:** people sign up or star the repo and then nothing, they get it working once and never come back, your docs assume the reader already understands it, or you are about to spend on a launch or a channel while the first ten minutes still leak. ## The core idea You can nail your positioning, your homepage, and your launch, and still lose everyone in the first ten minutes. For a dev tool the first run *is* the sale: the developer tries it, alone, without talking to you, and decides. Two gates, straight from Frankl's DREAM funnel: - **Evaluation:** can they get it working over a weekend, with zero human help? (the weekend test) - **Activation:** how fast do they reach their first real win, the "I'm awesome" moment (time to first value)? Fix this before you scale acquisition. Pouring users into a leaky first run just loses them faster, and `know-if-its-working` will show you that retention, not signups, is the number that matters. ## The two thresholds …

How to install
mdr add aidevgtm/gtm-cofounder/time-to-first-value@sha256:db62fb136a1524c0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.dfba153, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
