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 and tool details are specific but the actual user behavior segment remains fuzzy.
What are your users doing right now to solve this problem, and what does that workaround cost them?
Specific cost and time quantified, but Notion is a workaround, not direct competition.
Name the actual human who needs this most. What's their title and what consequence do they face?
Real tailwind identified, but Notion AI as proof point cuts both ways here.
What's the smallest possible version of this that someone would pay real money for this week?
This is a Google Form plus ChatGPT, not a defensible product worth building.
What surprised you when you actually watched someone use this without helping them?
Channels are concrete but volume and conversion math don't add up to 100.
If the world looks meaningfully different in 3 years, does your product become more essential or less?
Concrete metrics, but the retention bar and revenue absence make the pre-seed bridge shaky.
Homework
Three concrete next steps before you run the next session.

- 2Build a clickable V1 outline that solves only the highest-friction step from those interviews.
- 3Send one concise outreach message to 20 likely first users and measure replies, not likes.
