SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Founders often build crypto products without evidence of real demand, wasting weeks on ideas that lack users, feasibility, or a genuine need for blockchain. This Skill stress-tests a startup idea with a structured validation sprint and delivers an honest go/no-go recommendation backed by concrete demand signals. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Validation Sprint: Runs a 7-day framework covering competitor scans, demand signal collection, user conversations, and technical feasibility assessment. - Signal Scoring & Decision Framework: Scores demand evidence with a customer-signal rubric and applies pivot-or-persist criteria to reach a go, no-go, or pivot verdict with a confidence level. - HTML Validation Report & Phase Handoff: Writes a local HTML artifact with the full report and updates .superstack/idea-context.md so the idea can flow into the Build phase. - Use Case: A founder asks whether a Solana protocol for agent-to-agent payments is worth building; the Skill scans competitors, checks on-chain and social demand signals, runs the crypto-necessity gut-check, and returns a scored recommendation with next steps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to validate your crypto startup idea, for example by describing the idea and requesting a validation sprint with a go/no-go recommendation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a crypto startup idea before building?

Run a structured validation sprint: scan competitors across Solana and broader crypto, collect demand signals from user conversations and on-chain activity, then score feasibility and time to MVP. The Skill produces a go/no-go verdict with cited evidence and next steps.

What counts as a real demand signal for a startup idea?

Strong signals include people hacking together manual workarounds, active forks of related open-source projects, protocol bounties, and growing on-chain activity. Weak signals like upvotes, verbal interest, or TAM arguments alone do not justify building.

How is the go or no-go decision scored?

A go requires at least 3 of 5 criteria: demand score of 2 or higher, solvable technical feasibility, MVP within two weeks, an unfair advantage, and genuine blockchain necessity. Any single no-go criterion, such as zero demand or an unsolved technical problem, triggers rejection with a pivot suggestion.

Does the validation check whether blockchain is actually needed?

Yes, the workflow runs a crypto necessity gut-check asking what breaks if the blockchain is removed. If the chain adds friction rather than value, the idea is flagged as ornamental, which is a no-go criterion.

What happens after the idea passes validation?

The Skill writes a local HTML report and updates .superstack/idea-context.md with demand signals, risks, verdict, confidence, and next steps. If the verdict is go, the user can proceed to the Build phase of the Idea to Build to Launch journey.
