The part about founders being further from PMF than they think maps almost exactly onto what I see with AI tool adoption right now. Teams ship a wrapper around GPT-4, get a few enthusiastic beta users, and call it traction. But enthusiasm from 20 people who feel flattered to be asked is not the same as a segment that keeps paying without you chasing them. Where on your scale would you put 'users love the demo but churn after month one'?

That's lack of true ps-fit, so in the middel I would say.
