Before

AI-powered code review tool that gives instant feedback like a senior engineer, built for junior developers

After

B

AI-powered code review tool that gives instant feedback like a senior engineer, built for junior developers for one named user, reduced to the smallest paid wedge and grounded in observed demand and a costly current workaround.

Per-question score table

Q1

What's the strongest evidence you have that someone actually wants this?

Sharp persona with role, tenure, stack, and the exact trigger pain identified.

Strong
Q2

What are your users doing right now to solve this problem, and what does that workaround cost them?

You name spend and delay, but conflate learners with employed juniors—different buyers, different pains.

Moderate
Q3

Name the actual human who needs this most. What's their title and what consequence do they face?

Three real shifts named, but each is asserted without sharp, specific proof points.

Moderate
Q4

What's the smallest possible version of this that someone would pay real money for this week?

Scoped and shippable, but the "bad patterns" definition is dangerously vague for V1.

Moderate
Q5

What surprised you when you actually watched someone use this without helping them?

Channels are plausible but generic; no evidence any of them actually convert.

Moderate
Q6

If the world looks meaningfully different in 3 years, does your product become more essential or less?

Numbers are specific but logic chain and channel assumptions remain unvalidated.

Homework

Three concrete next steps before you run the next session.

  • 1Find the strongest real demand evidence: payment, repeated usage, or dependency-forming behavior.
  • 2Build the smallest version one named user would pay real money for this week.
  • 3Watch one person use it without helping and record the first behavior that surprises you.
