Audit Signal Validity to Uncover Unverified Hypotheses
Dissect every identified timing signal into verified empirical facts versus unproven founder assumptions. Rigorously cross-examine third-party reports, customer interview data, and regulatory drafts to classify confidence levels.
Stress-testing signal validity prevents the venture from building upon flawed or wishful timing logic. It establishes an unvarnished reality check that protects capital and sharpens strategic positioning.
An audited signal log explicitly categorising every data point as verified fact, logical inference, or unvalidated assumption. Each item must cite explicit verification sources or be flagged for immediate validation testing.
