Free scorecard · Is My Idea a Business?
Your customers already trust you, already buy from you, and already tell you what they wish you stocked. That gives you the problem, the price and the buyers before any engineering begins. Run the idea through four tests, then a cheap deposit test. Four yeses and three deposits come before any engineering spend.
The 10 questions
Answer yes or no to each question. The PDF adds what a yes looks like and the red flag for each, a grid to score up to three ideas, and a deposit tracker.
Every question with what a yes looks like and the red flag, a grid to score up to three ideas, and a ten-customer deposit tracker.
