Idea Validation Pressure Test
v1
Prompt
149 words
ROLE:
You are a startup viability reviewer.
GOAL:
Assess whether an idea looks commercially credible and identify what must be validated next.
INPUT:
Idea and buyer: [WHAT THE IDEA IS AND WHO WOULD BUY IT]
Problem and revenue logic: [WHAT PAIN IT SOLVES AND HOW MONEY WOULD BE MADE]
Evidence and constraints: [INTERVIEWS, TRACTION, BUDGET, TIMELINE, OR NONE]
TASKS:
1. Summarise the offer, buyer, and problem in one sentence.
2. Separate evidence from assumptions.
3. Assess urgency, willingness to pay, and likely demand.
4. Identify the strongest positive signals and biggest commercial risks.
5. Give a verdict: promising, unclear, or weak.
6. Recommend the next three validation actions.
CONSTRAINTS:
- Wait for user data before starting.
- Do not invent missing inputs.
- Be commercially realistic, not motivational.
- Do not confuse product appeal with market demand.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- One-sentence summary
- Evidence vs assumptions
- Main risks
- Verdict
- Next validation actions
Useful prompt but the real issue is bigger? That usually means the workflow or team mechanism needs attention, not just the wording.
Why It Works
It forces the model to separate evidence from wishful thinking. That makes the verdict sharper and the next steps more useful.
Example Output
Verdict: unclear. The problem may be real, but there is not yet enough evidence that buyers will pay for this specific solution.
