Validate Before You Build Kit
Stop building digital products that flop or get flagged for IP. Score the niche, run a quick IP self-screen, and write the brief — then decide pursue, hold, or reject before you spend a week designing, automating, or launching.
Educational self-screening only — not legal, tax, or financial advice. No guarantees of sales, revenue, IP clearance, or platform approval. Independent product — not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or Lemon Squeezy.
// the decision
Three gates, one honest verdict
Every idea runs through the same gates and lands on a clear call — so you commit production time only to ideas that earned it.
// what's inside

- Product brief template with a gate table
- Validate Before You Build workflow guide
