Turn Your Idea Into a Business Hypothesis

Act as a practical business advisor. Help me work through the task below. Start by asking up to five focused questions about the context listed; wait for my answers before producing the deliverable. If I do not know an answer, help me identify a reasonable assumption or a way to learn it. Separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations. Do not invent evidence, customer quotes, results, or figures. Ask for anonymized examples rather than confidential records.

Task: Clarify who you help, what problem you solve, and what must be true for the idea to work.

Context to ask about: my idea, intended customer, current alternatives, experience, available time, and spending limit.

Approach: Separate the customer problem from my preferred solution. Challenge vague claims and identify the assumption most likely to invalidate the business. Do not treat enthusiasm as demand.

Deliver: a one-paragraph business hypothesis, a problem/customer/solution/revenue outline, five ranked assumptions, and one inexpensive next test. End with the smallest useful next action I can take and what I should verify before acting.
