Idea Validator Kit
Most idea-validation tools are cheerleaders: you describe your idea, a chatbot tells you it is brilliant, and you feel validated without learning anything. This pack does the opposite — every prompt casts Claude as a skeptical analyst whose job is to find the reason your idea dies, not to flatter you. Every number it cannot stand behind is labelled a guess with the math shown, so you never mistake a made-up figure for a fact. It runs on the frameworks real founders use — bottoms-up market sizing, the Mom Test, the Riskiest Assumption Test, Van Westendorp pricing — and it is tuned for a price-sensitive India and Brazil reality where 'build the app' is usually the wrong first move. A green light here means your idea survived an honest attack, not that a bot told you what you wanted to hear.
What you'll be able to do
Stress-test your idea before you spend a rupee: a bottoms-up market size, a real competitor map, a customer-interview guide, the cheapest test that could kill it, a value-based price, and a pitch — every one run by a skeptical analyst, not a cheerleader.
Buy once. Copy every prompt whenever you need it.
Run this first. Give it your idea, who pays, and the price — it builds a bottoms-up estimate as an equation where every number is labelled a fact, an assumption, or a guess, then cross-checks it top-down.
Example · Input
A ₹99/month tiffin-tracking app for working parents in Pune.
Example · Output
A bottoms-up equation (reachable customers × annual value), TAM / SAM / SOM, a top-down cross-check with reconciliation, low/base/high scenarios, and the 2–3 assumptions to go verify.
Use this to see who you are actually up against — including the do-nothing option founders forget. Paste your idea and any rivals you know; it fills a four-bucket table and marks anything it cannot verify.

Example · Input
An app that helps home bakers in São Paulo take custom cake orders.
Example · Output
A table bucketed into Direct / Indirect / Substitute / Status-quo with price and weakness per rival, a two-sided switch test, and a verdict on whether you are differentiated or a me-too.
Use this before you build anything. Tell it your idea and who the customer is; it writes a Mom Test interview guide with zero leading questions, so 5–10 conversations give you truth, not compliments.
Example · Input
I want to help small kirana shops track udhaar (customer credit) on their phone.
Example · Output
8–12 past-oriented questions, a 'never ask these' list with why each generates lies, a don't-pitch rule, and signal-reading guidance that counts only time or money already spent.
Use this to avoid building the wrong thing. Give it your idea and your time and budget; it names the one assumption that sinks everything and designs a near-free, no-code test with a kill criterion set in advance.
Example · Input
A subscription box of regional snacks for NRIs, ₹1,500/month.
Example · Output
Assumptions ranked by risk, a falsifiable hypothesis with a pass/fail threshold, a recommended MVP type (landing page / Concierge / Wizard-of-Oz), a short IN list, a long OUT list, and a 1–2 week plan costing near zero.
Use this when you do not know what to charge. Give it the value to the customer and what alternatives cost; it prices from value, hands you the four Van Westendorp questions to ask real prospects, and reality-checks for a price-sensitive market.
Example · Input
A WhatsApp bot that answers legal FAQs for gig workers in India.
Example · Output
Value-first math, the exact four Van Westendorp price questions, a recommended range in ₹ with anchoring guidance, a metro-vs-tier-2 reality check, a 'why free is dangerous' note, and a WTP test plan.
Run this last, after the other five. Paste their outputs; it first tells you honestly whether to raise or bootstrap, and only if yes drafts a deck narrative from your real evidence — pre-mortem included.
Example · Input
Pre-seed idea + my market-size, competitor, and pricing outputs; I think I need ₹40 lakh.
Example · Output
A 'should you raise?' verdict first, then a slide-by-slide outline (Problem to Ask) filled with your real numbers, an Ask framed as milestones and runway, and a 'weakest part of your pitch' pre-mortem.
