Find & Validate My Business Idea — score it before you build¶
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. And no evidence anyone wants it.
- Area: Strategy
- Time savings: Typical run: 60-120 minutes, single or two sessions
- Try it: "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""
- Compounding: Each run refines templates and context — 7 automated steps improve with accumulated data
- Frequency: Per trigger event

Inputs¶
- 🎯 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 BOB does¶
- vault-preflight → check for existing business/ICP context so downstream steps sharpen rather than rebuild; flag what's present
- 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
- positioning-craft → competitive map + differentiation + the unfair-advantage statement, anchored to the validated niche and the research findings
- offer-builder → value-stack offer (dream outcome, obstacles, deliverables, one high-value bonus) built from the validated niche and buyer language
- pricing-strategy → market-anchored three-tier pricing + income math against the founder's step-2 money goal; pressure-test that the math pencils
- guarantee-designer → risk-reversal guarantee tied to the buyer's #1 fear
- Assemble the deliverables: a one-page brief (
pdf-reportorbranded-pdf), the branded HTML report, and a 7-day action plan; route per the validated-idea note's location
