Build the smallest sellable version.
For digital creators who would rather test than guess
Should you build this product?
Score the opportunity. Expose weak evidence. Make a Build, Pivot, Kill, or Research decision before production.
Private by design. Your assessment stays in this browser.
The decision before the production
A score is useful.
Evidence makes it honest.
Define
Clarify the buyer, problem, outcome, format, and constraints.
Evidence
Separate verified signals from inference and assumption.
Decide
Receive a gated Build, Pivot, Kill, or Evidence Gap decision.
GREENLIGHT–7 Assessment
Build a decision you can defend.
Score what you know, record why you believe it, and show how strong that evidence really is.
Idea snapshot
Describe one product idea. Specific inputs make the final brief useful.
The GREENLIGHT–7
Each dimension needs two answers: how attractive is it, and how credible is the evidence behind that score?
P / 20% weight / critical gate
Problem intensity
How painful, frequent, and costly is the problem?
Look for repeated effort, lost time, lost money, stalled progress, and active solution-seeking.
B / 15% weight / critical gate
Buyer specificity
Can you identify the buyer and the moment they buy?
A useful buyer definition includes context, desired progress, language, objections, and a trigger.
D / 20% weight / critical gate
Demand evidence
What observable behavior shows that people want a solution?
Purchases and pre-sales are strongest. Reviews, repeated questions, and active competitors are supporting signals.
G / 15% weight
Competitive gap
Is there a meaningful reason to choose this offer?
Look for a neglected buyer, desired result, delivery format, constraint, mechanism, or repeated complaint.
A / 10% weight
Creator advantage
Why are you well placed to create and improve this product?
Experience, owned assets, cases, audience access, data, methods, and delivery capability all count.
X / 10% weight
Distribution access
Is there an affordable, testable route to the buyer?
Name a channel, audience, partner, marketplace, community, or repeatable acquisition path.
R / 10% weight / critical gate
Delivery & risk
Can the promise be delivered safely, legally, and at the required quality?
Consider scope, support, source quality, compliance, refund exposure, and the cost of fulfilling the promise.
Current result
EVIDENCE GAP
Research before you build
There is not enough verified evidence to approve or reject the opportunity responsibly.
Research before you build.
Decision gates
Confidence must reach 45 before approval or rejection.
0/7 dimensions include an evidence note.
Below 3: Problem intensity, Buyer specificity, Demand evidence, Delivery & risk.
Distribution must score at least 3 for BUILD.
A risk stop overrides every positive score.
