Three phases of evidence

Each phase builds on the last. Each gate is earned with real data.

PHASE 01
Problem Gate

Discovery

Market + Problem

Map the real market. Interview your customers. Quantify the problem before building anything.

ICP definitionMarket sizingProblem interviewsCompetitive audit
PHASE 02
Solution Gate

Validation

Solution Validation

Validate your solution against real pain points. Measure willingness to pay, not just interest.

Concept validationPrice testingPre-sales signalsPositioning
PHASE 03
Economics Gate

Decision

Economics + Go/No-Go

Model unit economics from real data. Generate a defensible Go or No-Go recommendation.

// Built-In Honesty

Gates that keep you honest

Two structured checkpoints prevent you from building on weak evidence. A gate result is information, not judgment.

Gates are earned with evidence quality, not time elapsed. Some founders clear the Problem Gate in one week. Others take six. Both are valid.

Phase 1 Complete

Problem Gate

Is the problem real? Your evidence is scored against market data and primary research. If the signal is weak, the framework tells you before you invest further.

Phase 2 Complete

Solution Gate

Does the solution hold up? Combined problem and solution scores determine whether you have enough evidence to model economics confidently.

// Why JASP

What makes this different

Evidence, not opinions

Every exercise produces a data point. Your score reflects what the evidence says, not what you hope.

AI copilot that challenges you

Our AI gives honest feedback. It will tell you when your assumptions are weak, not just encourage you.

Checkpoint gates

Two structured decision points prevent you from building on a weak foundation. Gates keep you honest.

Your data stays yours

Your validation data is never used for model training. IP Covenant is prominent, never buried.
