What problem does it solve?

Founders often struggle to differentiate hype from evidence and need a repeatable, defendable process to decide whether to pursue a startup idea. This Skill provides an evidence-based framework including a 9-dimension scorecard, a structured validation ladder, and riskiest-assumption-first experiments to support GO/NO-GO decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 9-dimension scorecard to generate GO/CONDITIONAL/PIVOT/NO-GO verdicts with concrete next actions.
  • Validation ladder (interviews -> smoke test -> concierge/WoZ -> paid pilot) to de-risk ideas progressively.
  • Hypothesis-driven planning with RAT identification and test design to convert assumptions into measurable signals.

Quick Start

Describe your startup idea, target user, and business model, then execute the validation ladder to produce a GO/NO-GO verdict.
