startup-validator

Startup validation analyzes your idea against proven frameworks like Thiel's seven questions, The Mom Test, and Lean Canvas to generate a validation score. It checks product-market fit signals, assesses risks, and produces an action plan to help you decide whether to pursue, pivot, or kill the idea.

PMF readiness assessment checks product-market fit signals using PMF metrics and Steve Blank's customer development stages. It identifies gaps in real customer demand before investment or scaling, generating a score and prioritized action plan for your early-stage venture.

The Mom Test principles structure customer development interviews to gather unbiased evidence of real customer demand. Combined with Jobs-to-be-Done analytics, it screens startup ideas by ensuring your product addresses actual user problems rather than confirming pre-existing assumptions.

To evaluate scaling readiness, use PMF metrics, Thiel's seven questions, and Steve Blank's customer development stages.

You should pivot or kill a startup idea when validation frameworks reveal weak PMF signals, poor distribution, or lack of a true secret. Scoring low across Thiel's seven questions and failing The Mom Test indicates insufficient real customer demand, signaling that improvement actions cannot bridge the gaps.
