SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Founders waste months building products nobody wants. This Skill stops premature building by forcing evidence-based validation: it structures any raw idea into a Lean Canvas, identifies the Riskiest Assumption, designs honest customer tests, and produces a documented kill, pivot, or build decision before any code is written. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Lean Canvas Modeling: Drafts a one-page business model covering all 9 blocks, from Problem and Customer Segments to Revenue Streams and Unfair Advantage. - Riskiest Assumption Testing (RAT): Ranks assumptions by probability of being wrong times impact, then designs a test with a pass/fail threshold set before data collection. - Mom Test Interview Design: Generates past-behavior interview questions that avoid hypothetical "would you" phrasing, plus smoke tests and pre-order validation. - Pivot / Persevere Decisions: Applies pre-set kill criteria to test evidence and documents the decision with cited data. - Use Case: You have an idea for an AI finance app. Instead of asking "is this good?", the Skill drafts your Lean Canvas, flags the riskiest assumption, writes 5 Mom Test questions, and sets a kill threshold before you talk to a single customer. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to validate your business idea by building a Lean Canvas and designing a riskiest assumption test with explicit kill criteria.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate a business idea before building an MVP?▼

Validate a business idea by drafting a Lean Canvas, identifying the single riskiest assumption, and running a test such as customer interviews, a landing page, or pre-orders. Set a pass/fail threshold before collecting data, then kill, pivot, or build based on the evidence.

What is the Mom Test for customer interviews?▼

The Mom Test is an interview method that asks about past behavior instead of opinions. Ask "When was the last time you struggled with X?" rather than "Would you use this?", because hypothetical answers are unreliable while past actions are evidence.

How do I decide whether to pivot or persevere after customer interviews?▼

Apply the kill threshold you set before data collection. If the riskiest assumption failed against that threshold, kill or pivot; if it passed with hard evidence like pre-orders or commitments, proceed to build and name the next assumption to test.

Why are 'would you pay for this' interview answers not real validation?▼

Hypothetical questions produce polite opinions, not evidence. People say yes to be agreeable, but real validation requires past behavior, pre-orders, waitlist sign-ups, or calendar commitments where the customer gives up money or time.

When should I not use early-stage idea validation?▼

Skip this validation flow when scaling an already-validated business or building a product with confirmed demand. Those stages belong to growth strategy and product execution workflows, not assumption testing.
