validate-icp

What problem does it solve?

Mine public communities (Reddit, HN, X, IndieHackers, Trustpilot, Discord, forums) for verbatim first-person pain quotes to validate whether an ICP exists publicly before the user commits to customer interviews. Spawns parallel agents across named sources and returns raw quotes (source-linked, categorized by JTBD dimensions and Forces of Progress), a named DM list for interviews, a reachability scorecard, and a VALIDATED / WEAK / NOT FOUND verdict. Use when the user has an ICP hypothesis and needs voice-of-customer evidence before interviews, or when asked to validate an ICP, prove a customer segment exists, find verbatim pain quotes, or check whether a target market is reachable publicly. Typically runs after jobs-to-be-done (produces the ICP hypothesis) and before mom-test (needs interview targets and verbatim language to avoid leading questions).
