Product idea stress test: kill it or build it in 1 week
Service description:
You have an idea and you are about to spend money or months on it. Before you do, let me pressure-test it the way it would be pressure-tested inside Amazon: sharply, honestly, and in writing.
What you get:
Problem definition: who actually has this problem, how painful it is, and what they do about it today
Assumption map: the beliefs your idea depends on, ranked by how likely each is to kill it
Scoped v0 recommendation: the smallest version worth building to test the riskiest assumption first
A clear verdict: build, reshape, or kill, with my reasoning spelled out so you can disagree with specifics rather than vibes
This is pure product judgment, no build. It exists because most ideas fail not from bad execution but from a fatal assumption nobody wrote down. One week, fixed price, and the deliverable is a document you can act on the same day, or hand straight into my two-week prototype service if the verdict is build.
Why me: 10 years as an Amazon product manager, where deciding what not to build was half the job. I have since shipped AI products of my own and won ElevenLabs' inaugural ElevenCreative challenge, so the recommendation comes from someone who builds, not just advises.
To kick off, I need your idea in whatever form it exists (a voice note or a messy paragraph is fine) and 30 minutes on a call.
FAQs:
Q: What if you tell me to kill my idea?
A: Then you just saved months and a lot of money for £450. But a kill verdict always comes with what would have to be true for the idea to work, so you know exactly what to watch for.
Q: Is this just your opinion?
A: It is a structured judgment with reasoning you can audit. Every claim in the verdict ties back to an assumption, a comparison point, or something checkable. Where I am guessing, I say so.
Q: Do you talk to my potential customers?
A: Not within the time frame. The assumption map tells you exactly which customer conversations to have and what to ask, so your discovery time gets spent where it matters.
Q: What happens if the verdict is build?
A: The scoped v0 slots directly into my prototype service, and the stress test fee comes off that price.
