Stage 0
Idea
The raw founder hypothesis: a pain you noticed, a workflow you think can be automated, or a wedge you want to test.
Sequential founder funnel
One platform, two validation checkpoints.
Validate the idea before you build. Score the deck before you raise. The same evidence discipline powers both decisions.
Founder journey
Idea -> validation -> build -> deck -> raise.
The two checkpoint stages carry the product value. The other stages are transitions that should stay quieter.
Entry
Stage 1
Validate
MicroSaaS Factory runs the cited-evidence pipeline and returns GO / NO-GO with confidence before build scope opens.
Stage 2
Build
If the signal passes, the launch playbook keeps scope tight and tied to the claims that validated.
Stage 3
Deck
The validated idea becomes a structured pitch where market claims trace back to the original evidence.
Stage 4
Score
Startup Screener evaluates the pitch deck across seven dimensions with the same confidence discipline.
Enterprise argument
Accelerators already run both workflows manually.
The B2B story is not two unrelated products. It is one engine applied to two decisions the same buyer already makes.

Checkpoints
Validate raw ideas at intake, then score decks before demo day.

ACV target
One buyer, two workflows, one evidence engine.
Start at checkpoint 1
A deck score means little without a validated idea behind it.
Run the $9 validation first. If the signal is weak, stop. If it is strong, every later stage compounds on evidence you already gathered.
