How to Use AI for Startup Validation
AI won't tell you if your startup will work. It will tell you which assumption is most likely to break it. That's more useful.
The 3-pillar validation workflow
- Competitor teardown: Competitor Teardown identifies their tax + your wedge.
- GTM stress test: Go-to-Market Stress Test finds the load-bearing assumption.
- Pre-mortem: Pre-Mortem assumes you failed; traces the cause.
Run all three before raising or quitting your job. Total time: 2 hours. Total potential cost saved: months of runway.
