## Description

Running a startup accelerator means constantly balancing limited resources against the diverse needs of dozens of founders. You often find yourself staring at a spreadsheet, trying to figure out why some founders are getting stuck while others are flying, or wondering if you're spending too much time on basic topics when they should be focusing on fundraising. This MCP changes that by acting as a specialized logic engine for your program management. Instead of guessing how to split up your coaching pool, you can let your AI client handle the math. It looks at how many founders you have, their specific experience levels, and the total hours available to create a fair, data-driven allocation plan. You can also feed it a list of requested topics, and it will rank them so your mentors hit the most critical subjects first. It even gives you a way to see if your time is actually being spent well by calculating effectiveness ratios. By connecting this to your workflow through the Vinkius catalog, you turn coaching from a manual scheduling headache into a precise, optimized part of your accelerator's curriculum.

## Tools

### compute_effectiveness_ratio
Calculates how efficiently coaching time is being used relative to founder needs. It helps you see if your time investment is actually hitting the mark.

### calculate_topic_priority
Ranks coaching subjects to ensure the most vital topics are addressed first. This keeps the curriculum focused on what matters most.

### get_founder_hour_allocation
Determines the specific number of hours each founder should receive from the total pool. It accounts for company structure and experience levels.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
We have 40 coaching hours to split between 5 founders. Two are experienced, and three are novices. How should we divide the time?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the experience levels, here is the recommended allocation:

| Founder Type | Count | Hours per Founder | Total Hours |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Novice** | 3 | 10 hours | 30 |
| **Experienced** | 2 | 5 hours | 10 |
| **Total** | **5** | | **40** |

This distribution prioritizes the novices who require more foundational guidance while still providing support to the experienced founders.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Here are the topics our founders requested: Fundraising, Product-Market Fit, Scaling, and Legal. Rank these for a group of early-stage founders.
```

**Response:** 
```
For early-stage founders, the priority ranking is:

1. **Product-Market Fit** (Critical for survival)
2. **Fundraising** (Essential for runway)
3. **Legal** (Necessary for structure)
4. **Scaling** (Often premature at this stage)

Focusing on Product-Market Fit first ensures they are building something people actually want before they worry about growth or legal complexities.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How effective was our coaching last month? We spent 30 hours on 3 topics for 4 intermediate founders.
```

**Response:** 
```
The analysis of your coaching utilization is as follows:

* **Effectiveness Ratio:** 0.88
* **Efficiency Rating:** High

Your allocation is highly effective. The 30 hours spent across those topics provided strong coverage for your intermediate-level founders, suggesting the time was well-targeted to their specific needs.
```

## Capabilities

### Split coaching hours among founders
Distribute a limited pool of mentor hours across your entire cohort based on founder experience and company structure.

### Rank urgent learning topics
Organize a list of requested subjects so mentors focus on the most critical needs first.

### Measure coaching efficiency
Check how well your allocated hours are actually meeting the specific needs of your founders.

## Use Cases

### Managing a limited mentor pool
A program manager has 50 hours for 10 founders and uses the MCP to ensure experienced founders get less time than novices who need more guidance.

### Curating a weekly workshop schedule
An accelerator lead asks their agent to rank a list of 15 requested topics so they can build a focused curriculum for the upcoming week.

### Auditing program impact
A director uses the effectiveness tool to check if the 100 hours spent on product development last month actually met the founders' needs.

### Onboarding new cohorts
A manager quickly calculates a baseline hour distribution for a new group of 20 startups based on their varying stages of maturity.
