}Analyze a founder
Run an Originalis founder assessment.
Deduped per org: if your org already assessed this founder (or a run
is in flight), you get the existing analysis back with
existing: true — no new run is started or billed. Otherwise the
research-agent pipeline runs asynchronously (typically minutes);
poll status_url.
Requires a write-scoped API key and draws down the daily actions budget.

An Originalis API key: Authorization: Bearer ak_...
Body
Submit a founder for an Originalis assessment.
Provide at least one identity signal: a name, a LinkedIn URL, or a GitHub URL. A LinkedIn URL is the strongest key — name-only submissions dedupe on the name alone.
Founder's full name.
300LinkedIn profile URL.
1024GitHub profile URL.
1024Current company — a discovery hint, not required.
300Free-form context for the assessment (notes, emails).
20000Response
Successful Response
Accepted founder-analysis submission (HTTP 202).
queued, running, succeeded, failed True when your org already had this founder assessed (or a run in flight) — you were handed the existing analysis and NO new run was started or billed.
Poll GET here until status is 'succeeded' or 'failed'.
