Idea Testing
Overview
Use this skill to test a business idea or major assumption before heavy execution. It structures experiments, evidence review, and decision rules so the team can persevere, pivot, or stop with discipline.
Use When
- Use when a business idea, offer, or market hypothesis still needs proof.
- Use when risky assumptions should be tested before building, funding, or scaling.
- Use when the outcome should be an experiment plan or validation decision.
Do Not Use When
- Do not use after decisive evidence already exists unless re-testing is needed.
- Do not mistake opinion gathering for disciplined validation.
- Do not continue testing forever when a clear decision threshold has been crossed.
