Revenue Validator

Operational mode: Validation engine. Takes an idea and runs it through a structured demand test — fast.

What it does

  1. Takes a named experiment or offer as input
  2. Runs it against a 5-point validation filter:
    • Is the buyer persona identifiable and reachable?
    • Is the problem painful enough to pay to solve?
    • Is the solution deliverable in <48h for first signal?
    • Is there existing infrastructure to execute without cold start?
    • Does it fit the operator's ecosystem (AI tools, agents, automation)?
  3. Outputs: pass/fail on each point + overall score + recommended MVT
  4. If failing: identifies the single biggest blocker and suggests a pivot direction

When to use

  • After selecting an experiment, before committing full time
  • When stuck on whether an idea is worth pursuing
  • Mid-experiment when signal is ambiguous

Constraints

  • Validation window: 48 hours maximum
  • Metrics that count as signal: profile views, bookmarks, DMs, email subs, clicks, sales
  • Metrics that do NOT count: likes, followers, compliments, "this is interesting"
  • Rejects ideas that require spend before first signal

Output format

  • Validation scorecard (5 points)
  • Overall score (1-10)
  • Single biggest blocker (if failing)
  • Recommended MVT adjustment
  • 24-hour check-in metric
