Validate Idea

Run the full ten-step validation on one idea and write a decision memo with a verdict, an experiment and kill criteria

File contents

Run the workflow in workflows/idea-validation.md end to end.

Idea: $ARGUMENTS

Entry conditions:

  • If memory/user_profile.md does not exist, run first-run onboarding first.
  • If the argument names an existing slug in memory/ideas/, validate that one. Otherwise create memory/ideas/<slug>/idea.md from the description.
  • The frontmatter must carry business_model. If who pays is not obvious, ask one question: consumers with their own card, or a business? Then set status: in-validation.

Follow all ten steps. Do not shortcut the research: every competitor price, market size and channel cost needs a real source URL recorded in the file that uses it.

Before presenting the memo:

  1. Run python tests/validate_memory.py --idea <slug> and fix every ERROR.
  2. Set status: scored and validated_at in idea.md.

Present the memo in full. If the verdict is pivot or drop, offer /pivot-idea <slug>.
