How an idea gets validated

1. 1

   Data check

   The idea is checked like any guru claim on sidehustlebusted.com: what does a typical beginner earn, measured with public data?

2. 2

   Kill criterion before launch

   Before building, we write down the number that would stop the experiment, and when we look at it.

3. 3

   Build small, launch fast

   The smallest version that real customers can pay for.

4. 4

   Public updates

   Real numbers after 30 and 90 days: sales, revenue, costs, hours spent.

5. 5

   Verdict

   SURVIVED if it meets its success criterion, STOPPED if it hits the kill criterion. Both stay online.
