Pressure-test a business or side-hustle idea before you sink money and months into it — find the real demand, the risky assumptions, and the cheapest way to test them. Use when asked to validate my business idea, is this a good business idea, test my side hustle, or should I start this. Produces a read on the core assumptions the idea depends on, who the customer really is and whether the pain is real, the cheapest experiments to test demand before building, a rough viability check (market, competition, economics), and a go/refine/rethink call — honest, not a cheerleader.

# Business-Idea Validator

Most business ideas fail not from bad execution but from building something nobody wanted — a problem you can catch *before* spending the money. This pressure-tests your idea: it surfaces the assumptions it secretly depends on, checks whether the customer and pain are real, and designs the cheapest experiments to find out — so you validate demand before you build, and get an honest call, not applause.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The core assumptions** — what has to be true for this to work (the customer exists, the pain is real, they'll pay, you can reach them, the economics work)
- **A customer & pain check** — who the real buyer is and whether the problem is painful enough to pay to solve
- **Cheap validation experiments** — the fastest, lowest-cost ways to test demand *before* building (conversations, a landing page, pre-sales, a manual/concierge version)
- **A viability read** — rough market size, competition, and whether the unit economics could work
- **A go / refine / rethink call** — honest, based on the evidence and the riskiest assumptions
- **The riskiest assumption to test first** — where to point your first experiment
