Separate recorded evidence, optional AI advice and the founder’s explicit decision.
Use this section to see how evidence, interpretation and an explicit founder decision remain separate. The example is deliberately read-only so you can inspect the reasoning sequence without mistaking fictional records for observations from your own market.
Structured Assessment
Completed
The founder completed every criterion and retained the limits of the evidence.
Research evidence
Five fictional workflow walkthroughs show repeated document handoffs; four report at least two hours of weekly preparation effort.
Assessment conclusion
The problem is credible and accessible for a bounded service-led test, but scale and defensibility remain uncertain.
AI boundary
Consultative advice highlighted validation gaps; it did not change scores or choose the Decision.
Founder Decision
Pursue
Proceed only with a narrow validation plan and explicit human review.
Decision date
2026-04-06
Rationale
The recurring problem and reachable design partners justify a concierge MVP before integration work.
Next step
Define the review queue, CSV export and first controlled validation experiment.
