How it works
Score four evidence signals
Audience specificity contributes 20%, severity 25%, evidence strength 35%, and willingness to act 20%.
Test the weakest signal
The lowest entered factor becomes the first recommended validation target rather than a reason to build more.

Frequently asked questions
Does a high score prove the idea will succeed?
No. The score reflects the inputs you provide. A real commitment, purchase, repeated behaviour, or completed test is stronger evidence than the score itself.
What counts as strong evidence?
Observed behaviour and meaningful commitments are stronger than compliments or stated interest. Record who produced the evidence and under what conditions.
Should I validate the whole idea at once?
Usually not. Test the riskiest audience, problem, demand, or feasibility assumption with the smallest ethical experiment that can change your decision.
