Design a one-week validation sprint for a business idea: the riskiest assumption, the cheapest evidence, and the kill/continue criteria set in advance.
Design a one-week validation sprint for: {{idea}} (the idea, who it serves, how it would make money, what I've done so far).
Structure: the assumption map (everything that must be true — desirability, viability, feasibility), the riskiest assumption chosen honestly (usually 'people will pay', rarely 'we can build it'), the cheapest evidence for it (ranked: 10 problem interviews / a landing page with a real CTA / a pre-sale or LOI / a concierge version for one customer — pick for MY idea), the day-by-day plan (Mon: recruit, Tue-Thu: run, Fri: decide), and the pre-committed decision rule ('continue only if X of Y interviews reveal the pain unprompted' or 'N sign-ups / 1 pre-payment') — written BEFORE the week starts, because founders grade their own homework generously. Include the interview script or landing-page copy as the sprint's first artifact.
Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
