After
C+A tool that helps solo founders track their weekly experiments so they don't lose context for a narrow first customer segment, packaged as a four-week V1 with one measurable pain, one acquisition channel, and a clear month-six success target.
Per-question score table
What's the strongest evidence you have that someone actually wants this?
Demographic is specific but behavior signal is thin and the segment is still broad.
What are your users doing right now to solve this problem, and what does that workaround cost them?
Specific time cost and current spend, but Notion isn't really the competitor here.
Name the actual human who needs this most. What's their title and what consequence do they face?
Cheap LLMs is real, but Notion AI signal is borrowed, not earned.
What's the smallest possible version of this that someone would pay real money for this week?
This is a Google Form with a GPT call, not a defensible product.
What surprised you when you actually watched someone use this without helping them?
Channels are specific and founder-led, but volume and conversion math are unproven.
If the world looks meaningfully different in 3 years, does your product become more essential or less?
Concrete numbers, but the retention bar feels light and pre-seed framing dodges revenue signal.
