The goal of validation is simple: Learn as much as possible, as fast as possible. 💡 The faster you test, the less time and money you waste.
Start with Your Value Proposition
Your best guess about:
🔹 Who your customer is
🔹 What problem you solve
🔹 Your solution
Find Your Riskiest Assumption
What’s the one assumption that, if wrong, breaks your idea? Test that first!
Run Small, Fast Experiments. Choose a method to test your assumption:
- Exploration – Talk to potential customers & refine the problem
- Pitching – See if people care enough to buy
- Concierge Model – Manually deliver your solution before automating
- Track & Pivot
Use a Validation Board to log experiments, results & changes. Your first idea won’t be perfect but the faster you iterate, the sooner you’ll find what works.
