Revenue Validator

Operational mode: Validation engine. Takes an idea and runs it through a structured demand test — fast.

What it does

1. Takes a named experiment or offer as input 2. Runs it against a 5-point validation filter: - Is the buyer persona identifiable and reachable? - Is the problem painful enough to pay to solve? - Is the solution deliverable in <48h for first signal? - Is there existing infrastructure to execute without cold start? - Does it fit the operator's ecosystem (AI tools, agents, automation)? 3. Outputs: pass/fail on each point + overall score + recommended MVT 4. If failing: identifies the single biggest blocker and suggests a pivot direction
