Killer Validation
Perform "killer validation" on a business idea:
- Check whether there is real demand and evidence of willingness to pay.
- Search communities for real user discussions to confirm the actual pain points.
- Examine why existing products and competitors have not adequately solved the problem.
- Assess whether the market is crowded.
- Determine whether the product can be standardized, or whether every customer requires a POC/customization.
- Determine whether the real barriers are product/data moats or implementation/labor costs.
- Focus on answering: Why has this pain point remained unsolved for so long?
- If the original idea is not viable, determine whether a more reasonable vertical approach exists.
- Ultimately, provide only BUILD / PIVOT / PASS, and explain the most critical reason.
Prioritize finding evidence against the idea. Do not rationalize it just to prove that it is viable.
