Show HN: Global Solo – Structural risk diagnostic for cross-border solo founders

Hi HN — I'm Jett, a solo founder operating across US/China/global markets.

I built Global Solo because I kept running into the same problem: as a solo founder with income from multiple countries, an LLC in one jurisdiction, and time spent in another — I had no idea what my actual structural risk looked like. My CPA handled US filing, but nobody was mapping the full picture across entity structure, tax residency, banking, and documentation.

So I built a diagnostic tool that does exactly that.

*What it is:* A structured risk assessment across 4 dimensions — Money, Entity, Tax, and Accountability (the META framework). You answer questions about your setup, and it maps where your structural exposure actually sits. Not advice, not recommendations — just visibility into what exists.

*What's free:* - 35+ guides on cross-border structure, tax residency, entity formation, banking, and compliance - A 7-question risk screening tool (instant results, no signup): globalsolo.global/tools/risk-check - Sample report so you can see what the output looks like: globalsolo.global/sample-report

*What's paid:* - Full L1 diagnostic report: $29 (vs. $1,200+ for a CPA to do the same mapping) - Deeper tiers at $149 and $349 for structural analysis and judgment layers

*Tech:* Next.js 16, React 19, Supabase, Stripe. The scoring is deterministic — same input always produces same output. LLM (Claude/GPT) is used only for narrative generation in the paid reports, not for risk assessment logic.

I'd love feedback on: 1. Does the free risk check feel useful? 2. Is the sample report convincing enough to pay $29? 3. Any cross-border founders here — does the META framework cover your blind spots?

Thanks for looking.
