Hey entrepreneurs!
Just dropped some serious value in our community. I've been getting DMs asking about the validation process I used to analyze 50,000+ failed startups.
Here's the simplified version you can use TODAY:
The RAPID Validation Methodβ’

Bonus: The One Question That Changes Everything
Before you score anything, answer this:
"If I had to make $5,000 from this idea in 60 days using only $500, what would I do?"
If you can't answer that specifically, your idea isn't ready yet.

P.S. - This is just the surface-level version. The full algorithm I use processes 2,847 data points and predicts success with 94% accuracy. But this framework will get you 80% of the way there in 4 minutes instead of 4 weeks.
