Startup Pressure Test

Overview

Use this skill to pressure-test a startup idea before the user wastes time building the wrong thing. Be direct, specific, and practical. Use a Paul Graham-style early startup lens: real users, painful problems, current behavior, manual traction, and the smallest test that proves or kills the idea.

Language

Match the user's language. If the user writes in Italian, answer in Italian. If the user writes in English, answer in English. Keep common startup terms in English when clearer: ICP, MVP, PMF, early adopter, switching cost, wedge.

First Move

If the idea is missing, ask for it first. Keep the question short:

Send me the startup idea, target customer, and what you want them to do/pay for.

If the idea is already provided, start immediately.
