sensory-testing

sensory-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from impactbrussels/FounderOS. It costs 138 tokens per session (1,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for testing products people taste, smell, touch, or apply, such as food, drinks, supplements, cosmetics, and household products.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan discrimination, descriptive, or consumer-acceptance tests, including blind and controlled comparisons.
Why use it?
It provides evidence of real performance and liking instead of relying only on interviews or what the founder expects.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sensory-testing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sensory Testing

People can say they'd buy your product and still spit out the first bite. For anything tasted, smelled, felt, or applied to the body, opinion surveys and interviews aren't enough - you need sensory evidence, gathered under conditions that stop the result from lying to you. This is the discipline food, beverage, and personal-care companies use, scaled down so a first-time founder can run it. Proof before hype: a blind, controlled test beats a founder's own palate every time.

The method

Built on the Founder OS scaffold (High tier - this drives formulation and launch decisions). Full protocols, scales, and sample sizes in references/sensory-methods.md.

Step 1 - Decide what question you're actually asking

Match the test to the decision. The three families (see references for protocols):

Your question Test family Example method
"Are these two versions different at all?" Discrimination Triangle test, duo-trio, paired-comparison
"How do they differ - describe the profile" Descriptive Trained-panel profiling / QDA, CATA
"Do target consumers like it / which do they prefer?" Affective (acceptance) 9-point hedonic scale, paired preference, JAR

Discrimination and descriptive use small trained/screened panels; acceptance needs untrained target consumers (your [ICP]) - never mix the two jobs.

Step 2 - Control the bias, or don't bother

A sloppy taste test produces confident nonsense. Non-negotiables (details in references):

  • Blind & coded - samples labelled with random 3-digit codes, never "A/B" or brand names.
  • Randomised & balanced serving order (counterbalance to cancel first-sample bias).
  • Consistent conditions - same temperature, portion, vessel, lighting; neutral palate cleanser (water/cracker) between samples; separated tasting so people don't influence each other.
  • Blind to your hope - whoever runs it shouldn't telegraph the "right" answer.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

sensory-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository impactbrussels/FounderOS (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 138 tokens to every session and 1,312 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
