About this Gig
Overwhelmed by conflicting startup advice? I help early-stage founders turn a raw idea into a clear, validated launch plan. My work is grounded in 25+ years of operator experience spanning corporate leadership and founding my own companies. I use a structured 4-Lens Diagnostic spanning problem clarity, target user, solution fit, and market signals to show you what's working, what's missing, and your highest-priority next steps. This is real human judgment, not AI-generated optimism telling you what you want to hear.
- Just need a gutcheck? The Basic tier gives you a fast, focused diagnostic.
- Want direction you can act on? The Standard tier adds a crisp early stage roadmap.
- Need full confidence before investing time or money? Premium includes two working sessions, a full viability scorecard, and a risk analysis to pressure-test your concept from every angle.
This strategic assessment gives you clarity and direction before you commit more time or money to building a full business plan or MVP. Ready to find out if your idea is viable? Message me your stage and goal, and lets map your next step.

FAQ
Will you tell me if my idea isn't viable?
Yes. This isn’t fluffy consulting — you get honest, evidence‑based feedback on whether the idea is viable, where it’s weak, and what needs testing. If parts of the concept need work, I provide suggestions to help you strengthen them. The goal is to give you confidence, clarity, and direction.
Will this gig provide a complete business plan?
No — this gig provides a strategic snapshot designed to guide your next move, not formatted business plan or pitch deck documents. If you're ready for a full investor-ready business plan and financial model, check out my Pro gigs. This gig focuses on the clarity phase before soliciting funding.
How do the tiers build on each other?
Basic: 1‑page 4‑Lens Diagnostic with your top next step. Standard: adds a business model snapshot and early‑stage roadmap. Premium: full viability scorecard, risk matrix, and validated assumptions to show what’s viable and what to test next.
What stage of idea is a best fit for this gig?
This works well for a raw idea, an early concept you haven't tested yet, or an "I'm stuck and not sure what to do next" situation
If I order Basic, can I apply a credit toward a higher tier?
Yes — 50% of your Basic purchase price credits toward a Standard or Premium purchase, if you decide to upgrade within 14 days.
How do meeting logistics work?
Each tier includes at least one Zoom call (Premium has two), and we’ll coordinate a time that works for both of us. I’m in Seattle (US Pacific time) and can accommodate most time zones. Calls are optional—just tell me if you prefer to skip.
What's the 4-Lens Diagnostic
It's a structured review covering problem clarity, target user, solution fit, and market signals. Basic and Standard give you a quick assessment on all four dimensions; Premium adds deep scoring, a risk matrix, and validated assumptions.
What's the next step after getting my results?
If your idea validates well and you’re ready for investor‑ready materials — a business plan, financial model, or funding strategy — reach out and we can discuss options. Many founders start here for clarity, then build on it when they’re ready to execute.
