How does the Idea Validation Gate help me decide which projects to pursue?

This skill provides a structured framework to filter out low-potential side projects by enforcing a demand check, a personal fit filter, and a proprietary scoring system to ensure you only build ideas with organic growth potential.

What is required to set up the Idea Validation Gate?

No complex setup is required; once added to your compatible AI agent, simply provide your project concept and the skill will initiate the three-step validation sequence.

What exactly is included with the purchase of this skill?

You receive the full logic for the demand and fit checks, the five-part scoring algorithm, and the automated 'Kill Rule' generator to hold your project accountable.

Can this skill guarantee that my side project will be profitable?

The skill relies on the quality of the information you provide; while it provides a structured framework for judgment, it is a qualitative decision-making tool rather than a predictive financial forecast.

What is a 'Kill Rule' and how does it work?

The 'Kill Rule' is a specific, measurable milestone (e.g., 'reach $100 in sales by day 30') that the skill generates to help you objectively decide when to pivot or stop if the project stalls.

Summary

Dead. A printable habit tracker fails the demand check and a fit filter.

Part	Score
Revenue potential	2
Market size	3
Passivity once live	4
Maintenance load	4
Build effort (5 = easiest)	5

Average: 3.6, but a fit filter fails.

Demand check: free printable trackers already rank in search, so a new seller has no
wedge to rank on without paid promotion.

Fit filter failed: a niche tracker where a free incumbent gives the feature away, with no wedge.

Kill rule: not needed, because the idea is dead. Record the reason.

Next steps

Don't re-propose this under a new name.
Look for an idea where buyers search and pay, and no free version is already ranking.

About this skill

Most side-project ideas die after a weekend of building. This skill makes you check first.

It runs three checks in order:

Demand: is there a marketplace where buyers already search, so a new seller can be found without paid ads?
Fit: does the idea need a licensed professional, money spent before revenue, or copying someone else's listing?
Score: five ratings (revenue, market, passivity, maintenance, build effort), averaged. Under 3.0 is a no.

You finish with a verdict and one measurable test written down before you start, like "first sale within 30 days or stop."

Honest limits: the score is a structured judgment, not a sales forecast. Scores are only as good as the evidence you bring.
