validate-market
From the author
Run an honest market-fit and viability audit of any project or idea and produce a decision doc, not code. Use when someone asks "is this viable as a business", "audit the market fit", "make the case and compare to competitors", "should I apply to YC or bootstrap", or wants to validate a project, product, or market before investing more time. Gathers verifiable traction data first, researches the competitive field, gets an independent cold read, writes a doc with pre-committed pass/middle/kill criteria and a concrete week-1 assignment, then hardens it with an adversarial review loop.

- competitive-roadmap-reviewLMTYdotcom/skillsTurn market and customer evidence into product questions worth investigating - for a product area or a roadmap under review - without treating competitor features as a roadmap. Establishes what competitors actually did and whether it is independent and buyer-relevant, pulls the company's own customer evidence for the same need, checks whether the problem is already solved another way, and frames each gap as table-stakes risk, differentiator opportunity, copycat noise, or evidence gap, with the evidence still needed before anyone prioritizes. Use for "what should product investigate based on the market", "competitors keep adding this - does it matter for our roadmap", "review this roadmap against market and customer evidence", "are we missing something". Not for deciding whether a market pattern is real, framing a launch, or making the priority call.Planning★ 82
- saas-idea-validatorcbrock84/headcountEvaluates a software or startup idea against problem, market, competition, monetization, defensibility, and execution, and returns a verdict rather than encouragement. Use this when an idea needs pressure-testing before anyone builds, when deciding whether something is worth pursuing, when assessing competition or willingness to pay, or when a validated idea needs a first-customers and MVP plan. Default to scrutiny; the useful answer is usually the unwelcome one.Testing★ 2.1K
- validate-knowledgellopresto87/CypressProve that a knowledge base actually works before trusting it — after building or adopting docs, a knowledge graph, or a wiki, verify it can orient a fresh agent and resist false premises. Use at the end of an adoption, after a large docs change, or before relying on the graph to route work. Two methods: clean-context test agents answering known-answer and adversarial questions, and enforcement tests that plant a violation and confirm the linter catches it. A smoke test proves code runs; this proves the knowledge is correct, navigable, and honest.Testing★ 113
- market-entrycbrock84/headcountDecides whether and how to enter a new market — sizing demand from the bottom up rather than from a market report, testing whether your advantage transfers, choosing between organic entry, partnership and acquisition, sequencing the operational and regulatory work that entry actually requires, and setting the criteria that would tell you to stop. Use this to evaluate a new geography, segment or vertical, pressure-test an entry plan, or work out why a launched market never reached scale.Testing★ 2.1K
