Gut Check

Three-minute screen on four dimensions - can rule an idea out, never rules one in

Run the Fast path section of workflows/idea-validation.md, not the full chain.

Idea: $ARGUMENTS

Five steps: one trend platform, competitor mapping in light mode, desire, distribution, then scoring at scoring_stage: fast-validation. Monetization and retention are left null deliberately.

Write no decision memo. Present the gut-check summary inline: score and verdict, the strongest dimension with its evidence, the weakest with its evidence, the riskiest assumption, and this sentence verbatim:

This is a gut check on four dimensions - it did not examine whether anyone will pay or whether they will stay.

The idea keeps status: in-validation. Only a full validation earns scored.

Because two of six dimensions are missing, the arithmetic makes pursue unreachable. A fast drop is trustworthy; a fast test means "worth the full chain", never "worth building". Offer /validate-idea <slug> at the end.
