HOW THE DEMO WORKS

Build a customer validation plan.

Start with a specific customer and problem.
Leave with a short list of tests.

01

Describe the customer and problem.

Tell us what you’re building, who it’s for, and the problem you want to solve.

02

Identify the assumptions.

See what’s clear in your brief, what’s still an assumption, and where to dig deeper.

03

Plan interviews and a paid pilot.

Get small experiments and an outreach plan to start learning from potential customers.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

About this
demo.

Is this a real AI analysis?

This MVP is a demo. It uses the details you enter and a small set of transparent rules to produce a starting plan. It does not call an AI service, search the web, or verify demand. The report makes that distinction clear.

How is the feedback generated?

The demo looks at the detail in your description, familiar workflow words, audience wording, and selected business model. It uses these clues to suggest questions. These limited rules do not understand every idea or establish customer demand.

Who can see my idea?

The demo processes your idea in your browser. It does not upload or store your answers. Refreshing the page clears the form and report; use “Save report” to download a copy before you leave.

What should I do after getting a report?

Pick the riskiest assumption and run one small test. Speak with potential customers, observe their current workaround, and ask for a concrete commitment before spending weeks building.
