The 1-Page Business Idea Validator
Most business ideas fail because they were never tested before money was spent.
This 1-page worksheet runs your idea through five sections — idea statement, target customer, top 3 competitors, initial cost estimate, and a 3-question Go / No-Go rule.
Fifteen minutes. One page. Real answer.
What’s inside
- 01 — Idea Statement. One sentence. If it doesn’t fit on one line, your idea is still too fuzzy.
- 02 — Target Customer. If you can’t picture one specific person, you don’t have a customer yet.
- 03 — Top 3 Competitors + Price Range. Market check before you sink cash.
- 04 — Initial Cost Estimate. Five line items + a 15% cushion. Round up.
- 05 — Go / No-Go Decision. Three questions. The NO answers are the most useful.
How to use it
- Print one copy per idea you’re considering.
- Fill it in by hand. Writing forces clarity that typing doesn’t.
- Apply the decision rule:
- 3 YES = GO. Build the full plan this week.
- 2 YES = WAIT. Fix the one NO before spending any money.
- 0-1 YES = NOT YET. Re-validate this idea in 30 days.
After you validate
If your idea passes, the next step is a real plan with numbers, not just a worksheet.
