Will It Work?

A practical thinking tool to test your idea before you go all in

1
The Problem You're Solving
What frustration, gap, or need does your idea address?
Foundation ▾
Think about a moment that frustrated you or someone you know. What was missing?
What are they doing right now — even if it's a bad solution?
Is this a "nice to fix" or a "must fix" situation?
2
Your Solution
What exactly are you offering, and why is it better?
Core Offer ▾
If your grandma asked "so what do you actually sell?" — what would you say?
What's the real difference — price, quality, convenience, personal touch?
Did anyone buy it, try it, or give you real feedback?
3
Who You're Serving
Who exactly is your customer?
Your People ▾
Age, lifestyle, what they care about — picture a specific person, not just "women aged 25–40"
Where would you actually find them to tell them about your offer?
4
The Money
How will this actually make you money?
Revenue ▾
Is it a one-time purchase? Monthly? Per session? Don't just say "it depends."
Include materials, time, transport
Think about rent, transport, data, materials — what's the minimum you need to make this worth it?
Could you offer delivery, a subscription, a bulk deal, or a premium version?
5
Who Else Is Doing This
Your competition — and how you stand out
Landscape ▾
Include businesses, freelancers, market stalls, apps, or even DIY alternatives
What complaints have you heard, or what did you notice yourself?
This isn't a bad thing — a competitor can prove the market exists!
6
Your Edge
What makes you the right person to do this?
Advantage ▾
Think beyond just price. Trust, access, quality, relationships, speed?
Skills, community, relationships, knowledge, a unique process, location access?
7
Early Signals
What numbers and signs will tell you it's working?
Proof Points ▾
Be specific — not "I want it to do well," but a real number or outcome
You don't need everything ready. What's the fastest, cheapest way to find out if there's real interest?
Knowing your stop signals in advance keeps you from wasting money chasing a dead end

How confident do you feel about this idea right now?
