Stress-Test Evidence Quality and Critical Logic
Subject the Alternative Solution Deep Dive artefact to rigorous internal scrutiny, evaluating the strength and objectivity of underlying proof points. Audit every assumption regarding customer willingness to switch and compare them against observed market incentives. Identify fragile logic, unverified customer statements, or optimistic bias before finalising the report.
Stress-testing the artefact guarantees that venture decisions rest on robust, unassailable evidence rather than optimistic founder assumptions. It shields the venture from premature scaling against entrenched market incumbents.
An evidence quality audit score sheet highlighting verified facts versus unvalidated hypotheses within the artefact. The output must detail specific logic checks, identified bias corrections, and an overall confidence score for the analysis.
