Hero prompt: “How can I validate my idea?”
Validate an idea
This is the first chip under the landing composer. You have a hunch, not a thesis yet. Thinktree will not call the idea brilliant. It helps you separate what you know, what you are assuming, and what you should observe in the world.
When to use it
When energy is high and evidence is thin. When friends and chatbots agree with you and you can feel the missing pushback. When you cannot tell whether you love the problem or the solution.
The workspace keeps exploration open: one thread on the problem, one on the customer, one on the signals to collect before you write code or incorporate.
How Thinktree works here
It asks. You think. Chat tests assumptions (“who has this problem today?”, “what do they do instead?”). Clarify keeps market, offer, and risk on separate nodes so three debates do not collapse into one.
Journal and knowledge hold interviews, notes, and doubts. When you come back a week later you are not starting over: you have a trail of what you decided to verify and why.
What it will not do
It does not replace conversations with real customers and it does not spit out a business plan to copy. If the idea fails the exploration, the value is seeing that before you spend months on it.
