Founding Parents details · Founding Circle details and delivery timing
Three signs you're in the right place.
Before you press play you ask "is this worth my brain right now?" Most people don't. You've stopped finishing shows you resent.
Netflix autoplay isn't a recommendation, it's a metric. You want a published rubric, named reviewers, and reasoning you can argue with.
You've been reading TVI for free. You'd like to keep reading it a year from now, and to help the only TV scoring system that refuses to rank by vibes stay independent.
This is the one chance to lock in lifetime access at founder pricing.
Seven benefits. One $99 payment. No renewal. Access and delivery follow the timing below.
Mark what you watch. See your Personal IQ, dimension profile, and streak. Local to your browser today; cross-device sync ships when the backend lands.
Monthly, founder-only. This month's most-discussed scores, new database additions, what's coming. Sent before any public version of the same content. Starts the first month after you join.
One show or film each quarter, dismantled across the three dimensions. Why it scores what it scores. What the work demands. What it makes available to a viewer. Founders see it 30 days before the public. The first arrives in your first quarter as a founder.
Your name on /founders/ for the life of the site. Your founder number stays yours. Mentioned on the About page.
Two requests per year. Founders skip the public queue. We score it, write the rationale, and add it within 30 days. Your name credited on the title page if desired.
When something new ships, a new tool, a feature, a kids release, founders hear about it first, the day it ships. Your feedback shapes the roadmap.
Access to the quarterly SEL digest, the co-viewing guide library, and first access to new Kids tools. The private Founding Parents community, annual free-guide code, and Kids founders wall remain exclusive to the separate $49 Founding Parents membership.
No mystery box. Here is the membership, before you spend a dollar.
The film renders difficult feelings through precise images: the terror of losing a parent, the burden of being chosen, and the shame of staying away too long.
Founding Circle and Founding Parents share one cohort of 50 memberships. Either option uses one place. When the combined cohort reaches 50, both Founding offers close to new members. Existing members keep the benefits of the option they purchased.
This matters to us for one reason: the people who join now are paying for a product most of which doesn't exist yet. You're underwriting the build. In exchange, you never pay again.
No case to make and no conditions. You decide, on your own judgment. Email us any time in the first six months and we return your $99 in full, no questions, and you keep founder access as our thank-you for trying.
Jordan Robinson, board-certified surgeon, Plastic Surgery Fellow at Vanderbilt, Navy LCDR, built TV Intelligentsia because he got tired of algorithms that mistake engagement for value. The TVI Kids methodology is shaped and reviewed by Cordelia Witty, EdS., NCSP, a Nationally Certified School Psychologist; her name appears only on work she has personally reviewed and signed. The main database uses a three-dimensional rubric grounded in published cognitive science.
We don't run ads. We don't do affiliate links. We don't take money from studios. The only way to fund this work is readers paying for it directly.
One payment. Lifetime access. 6-month guarantee. The 50-member limit is shared with Founding Parents.
Seven questions we get most often. Pick one, click to expand.
You keep getting the free newsletter. Founding Circle is a separate tier that unlocks the Personal IQ tracker, the monthly founder-only newsletter, the quarterly Deep Dive, and the founders wall. Your existing subscription continues unchanged.
Yes. One payment of $99 buys lifetime access to everything listed above for as long as TV Intelligentsia exists. If we shut the site down, we'll refund pro-rata. If the price goes up for new members, you still pay zero.
Right now it lives only in your browser, and you can export or delete it any time. Cross-device sync ships when the backend lands; until then it stays on your device. We never sell it.
Email us within 6 months and we refund $99 in full. You keep any notes, exports, or content you've saved. No claw-back.
Personal IQ Tracker is live today (local to your browser). The monthly Founders Newsletter starts the first month after you join. The first Quarterly Deep Dive ships in the first quarter you're a founder. No volume gates, every founder gets the full stack as each piece ships.
Yes. At checkout, add a recipient email. They'll get a welcome with their founder number. Use it to lock in a friend who still watches Netflix autoplay.
Stripe issues one automatically. If you need anything additional for a W-9 or reimbursement, just email us.
