Idea validation worksheet

Original Good Next Move worksheet. Version 1.0.0.

Instructions

1. Write one assumption and an observation that would help you assess it.
2. Choose a small first experiment, a time and cash limit, and a review point. Explain your idea accurately to willing participants.
3. Record observations separately from interpretations, then decide what to change, continue, or stop. A plan or positive response does not establish income.

Original worked example

Hypothetical example: “A local club needs a simpler event signup page.” A reader asks three willing organizers about their current process, records the problems they describe, limits planning work to one afternoon, and reviews whether a small prototype is worth making.
