Founder Exit Threshold Model: Why Cofounders Rarely Leave Gradually

A state-transition view of founder departure using trust debt, runway stress, outside options, and repair credibility

Founder departures are often narrated as emotional drift, but they behave more like threshold events. This paper models cofounder exit as a nonlinear transition: multiple stress variables accumulate over time, and once a founder's exit pressure crosses a personal threshold for long enough, the organization moves from unstable cooperation into departure dynamics.
