How to Validate your Startup Idea Quickly
summary
Procedure converts a vague idea into measurable wins: write an XYZ hypothesis, hyper-zoom to a niche (example: Bay Area Fitness Facebook group), buy a domain and build a landing page on Squarespace/Wix, then run a painted door test measuring email signups against a 2% click goal. If that passes, run a Wizard of Oz month-long trial (trainer crafts plans, lightweight web app collects prefs) and measure paid retention toward the 10% monthly-active target.
