Six decision dimensions

A path should be scored against constraints and proof, not just potential upside.

  • Execution time
  • Skill leverage
  • Market access
  • Sales ability
  • Feedback loop
  • Risk window

How to test a path

Use a one-week validation loop: define the buyer, show a sample, ask for feedback, and test willingness to pay.

  • Can you reach users?
  • Can you produce a sample?
  • Can you get a yes or no?

Common questions

How do I choose an AI business idea?

Choose the idea with the fastest path to real feedback from people who might pay.

What if I have many AI ideas?

Rank them by reachable users, proof speed, and delivery ability. Test one at a time.

When should I wait?

If you lack time, user access, and execution history, build foundation before commercializing.

Use the framework on yourself.

The assessment maps your constraints to one recommended path.
