Validate Before You Build
A 3-hour live workshop to prove demand before you spend weeks building
Service or course. We email you within 24h after checkout to begin.
No promise your idea will work; a high score means real evidence of demand, not success, and well-validated ideas still fail on execution, timing or luck. It is not business, financial, or legal advice, and outreach law (GDPR/ePrivacy, CAN-SPAM, CASL) varies by country and by how you got each contact, so confirm what applies and respect each platform's ToS.
You have an idea and the itch to build it. Before you spend weeks coding, this 3-hour live workshop teaches you to check whether real people actually want it, so you commit your time on evidence instead of hope.
In one small hands-on session you run a real problem interview, find the single assumption that could kill the idea, and score what you learn into a clear verdict: GO, SHARPEN, PIVOT, or STOP, each with the cheapest next test.
What you get
- One live 3-hour session, recordedA small hands-on workshop capped at 15 seats, with the replay yours to keep so you can revisit every step at your own pace.
- Offline evidence diagnosticvalidation_scorecard.py runs locally on your machine and returns a GO / SHARPEN / PIVOT / STOP verdict plus the cheapest next test for your idea.
- Six finished templatesA customer-interview script, notes sheet, riskiest-assumption canvas, cheap-test plan, costly-commitment ask, and a one-page decision, ready to use as-is.
- Separate vanity from costly signalsYou learn to tell flattering noise apart from the evidence that actually predicts whether people will pay or commit.
- Operator SOP and outreach kitA step-by-step SOP and lawful-outreach kit so you can run this validation process for others if you ever choose to.
- Recording and free updates foreverYou keep the recording and all materials, and every future update to the workshop and templates comes to you at no extra cost.

Who it is for and the honest note
- Makers and would-be founders with an idea worth checking; beginners welcome

- A high score means real evidence of demand, not proof of success
- Well-validated ideas can still fail on execution, timing, or luck
- Not business, financial, or legal advice
- Outreach law (GDPR/ePrivacy, CAN-SPAM, CASL) varies by country and by how you got each contact; confirm what applies and respect each platform's ToS
Right for you if…
- You have one idea and want to test real demand before sinking weeks of build time into it.
- You're a solo maker or would-be founder who needs a repeatable way to run a real problem interview and read the evidence.
- You want a concrete GO / SHARPEN / PIVOT / STOP verdict plus the cheapest next test, not vague feedback.
- You'll reuse the six templates and the offline scorecard on future ideas, and may even run this process for others later.
Probably skip it if…
- Skip if you want a guarantee your idea will work; a high score means real evidence of demand, not success, and well-validated ideas still fail on execution, timing, or luck.
- Skip if you expect business, financial, or legal advice; this is a validation workshop, not professional counsel.
- Skip if you can't take responsibility for your own outreach; GDPR/ePrivacy, CAN-SPAM, and CASL vary by country and contact source, and you must confirm what applies and respect each platform's ToS.
Questions
Will this tell me if my idea will work?
No. It helps you gather honest evidence of demand and reach a clear verdict, but a high score means real interest, not guaranteed success. Even well-validated ideas can fail on execution, timing, or luck.
I'm a complete beginner with just an idea. Is that okay?
Yes. The workshop is built for makers and would-be founders at the idea stage. You run a real interview and leave with a finished decision, no prior experience required.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. We offer a fair 48-hour refund. If the workshop and materials are not right for you, ask within 48 hours.
What do I get after buying, and do updates cost extra?
You get the live session details, and after it runs you keep the recording, all six templates, the SOP, the outreach kit, and the validation_scorecard.py tool. Future updates are free forever, at no added cost.
Spend three focused hours proving demand now, so you don't spend weeks building something nobody wanted.
