Validate a Product Idea
Adversarial idea evaluation (structured interview + 10-criterion rubric). Methodology is grounded in established startup practice — see [references/research.md](references/research.md) for agent-internal sources only. Never end with "go build it." Always end with a falsification experiment or an honest kill/pivot.
Step 1 — Route to a mode
Pick one mode before loading other references. Do not load every reference file at once.
| Mode | User signals | Read next |
|---|---|---|
| Quick score | One-liner pitch, "sanity check", "score this", pasted deck summary, no time for interview | [references/quick-score.md](references/quick-score.md) |
| Full interview | "Validate my idea", "run the interview", first-time evaluation, ambiguous depth | [references/full-interview.md](references/full-interview.md) |
| Re-validate | Existing score in molten-docs/validate/, "I ran the experiment", "update my score" |
[references/revalidate.md](references/revalidate.md) |
If ambiguous, ask once: "Quick score from what you've shared, full 5 minute, 5-round interview , or re-validate against a previous product-score file?"
After routing, also read when needed:
