The Vulnerability Scanner
IF A CRITIC LOOKED AT YOUR STARTUP RIGHT NOW - WHAT WOULD THEY ATTACK FIRST? · 6 QUESTIONS · 2 MINUTES
This isn't about feeling good. It's about finding the weakest point before a critic does. Score each dimension honestly - 1 means a critic would destroy you on this, 10 means you're confident.
1. PROBLEM CLARITY
How clearly does your one-liner communicate the problem you solve? (1 = vague, 10 = a stranger would say "I have that problem")
1 = VAGUE · 10 = CRYSTAL CLEAR
2. DIFFERENTIATION
If someone compared you to the top alternative, would they immediately see why you're different? (1 = we look the same, 10 = obviously different)
1 = LOOK THE SAME · 10 = OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT
3. SOCIAL PROOF
How much evidence exists right now that people use (and pay for) your product? (1 = nothing public, 10 = testimonials, case studies, and numbers)
1 = NO PUBLIC PROOF · 10 = STRONG PUBLIC PROOF
4. PRICING CLARITY
Can someone understand your pricing in 10 seconds without booking a call? (1 = "contact sales", 10 = clear pricing page)
1 = CONTACT SALES · 10 = TRANSPARENT PRICING
5. FOUNDER PRESENCE
Can someone find and identify the founder(s)? (1 = completely anonymous, 10 = active on social, visible, reachable)
1 = ANONYMOUS · 10 = VISIBLE AND REACHABLE
6. PRODUCT MATURITY
How polished is the product experience right now? (1 = prototype, 10 = production-ready)
1 = PROTOTYPE · 10 = PRODUCTION-READY
