Find And Validate My Business Idea

A research-validated niche with a 100-point score and honest go/no-go, then (on a passing score) a positioned, priced, guaranteed offer and a one-page brief with a 7-day action plan — without building anything yet

You have a business idea.

When to run
"Founder, freelancer, or operator wants to find a business idea or niche and validate it with real research before committing — "find my business idea", "what should I sell", "find my niche", "validate my idea", "what's my ikigai""
Time saved
~60-120 minutes, single or two sessions manual → automated with agent assistance
How often
Per trigger event
Compounds
Each run refines templates and context — 7 automated steps improve with accumulated data

How it runs

  1. vault-preflight → check for existing business/ICP context so downstream steps sharpen rather than rebuild; flag what's present
  2. idea-validator → Ikigai four-list discovery → niche sharpening → live market-research sweep → 100-point validation score with kill-criteria; emits a validated-idea handoff note
  3. positioning-craft → competitive map + differentiation + the unfair-advantage statement, anchored to the validated niche and the research findings
  4. offer-builder → value-stack offer (dream outcome, obstacles, deliverables, one high-value bonus) built from the validated niche and buyer language
  5. pricing-strategy → market-anchored three-tier pricing + income math against the founder's step-2 money goal; pressure-test that the math pencils
  6. guarantee-designer → risk-reversal guarantee tied to the buyer's #1 fear
  7. Assemble the deliverables: a one-page brief (`pdf-report` or `branded-pdf`), the branded HTML report, and a 7-day action plan; route per the validated-idea note's location

What it needs

  • Current situation + near-term money goal (replace salary / $10K/mo / $30K/mo / fundable)
  • The four Ikigai lists (love / good at / world needs / pays) — drawn out in step 2
  • Build capacity and any constraints (brand, regulatory, time-to-launch)
  • Existing offers/ICP if any (or "start fresh")

What you get

  • Validated Idea + Score.md (the idea-validator handoff note — the gate artifact)
  • Competitive Map + Unfair Advantage.md
  • Offer Stack.md
  • Pricing Tiers + Income Math.md
  • Guarantee.md
  • Idea Brief.md + Idea Report.html + 7-Day Plan
