i got laid off after 5 years in tech.
instead of applying to jobs, i sat down with Claude and mapped out 25 business ideas in one afternoon.
then i killed 22 of them on purpose.
here's the process (and why most people skip the part that matters most):
42% of startups fail because they build something nobody wants.
that's not my opinion. that's CB Insights analysing 483 dead companies.
the fix is boring: do the research before you build. but almost nobody does it because it feels like procrastination.
it's not. it's the highest leverage hour you'll spend.
step 1 - i gave Claude my skills, budget, timeline, and constraints.
asked it to generate 25 business opportunities ranked by speed to first $1,000.
not "start a podcast" garbage. specific ideas with estimated revenue timelines and startup costs.
ran the prompt three times with different framings. ended up with 30+ raw ideas.
step 2 - i killed most of them.
three filters:
> reality check: can this make $1k/month in 60 days? if not, why not?
> unit economics: how many customers at what price to hit $5k/month?
> founder fit: am i credible enough that someone would actually pay me for this?
25 ideas became 3.
step 3 - competitive teardowns on the 3 survivors.
who already does this. what they charge. what their customers complain about on reddit and review sites. where the obvious gaps are.
then i ran a devil's advocate prompt that argued against my own plan.
3 became 1.
that was 2 months ago.
since then i've launched four products using the same process.
the framework works because it front loads the research. you spend a few hours now to avoid spending months on something that was never going to work.
i put the whole thing into a free 16 page guide.
the exact prompts. the three kill filters. the competitive teardown process. the devil's advocate prompt. a 30 day launch plan. everything.
comment what you've built or what you're working on for wider visibility.
i'll DM you the guide.
