Validation by assumption area (Validation)

A workspace that tracks evidence and next tests per area—so the validation hub reflects how strong each assumption is.

What it is

Assumption area pages group your work by theme (for example desirability, feasibility, or channel risk) and connect it to the scorecard so you can see what still needs evidence.

Where to open it

Use the Open … link at the end of this article, or launch the surface from Plans, Tools, or Validation in the app shell—whichever matches this guide.

UI at a glance

• Entry: hub cards or sidebar; incomplete prerequisites show as locks or disabled rows until Idea Book or prior steps catch up.
• Workspace: sections, tabs, filters, or lists depending on the product—use on-screen progress indicators to see what’s left.
• AI: only appears where the product enables it; outputs are drafts until you verify.

AI and automation

AI reads your venture context (often Idea Book fields plus this surface). It accelerates writing and suggestions; it does not replace customer discovery, legal, or financial advice.

Data and persistence

Content saves on your venture (or your account for expert-only inboxes). Exports and Vault may reuse the same data; other features may gate on completion here.

Who it’s for

Founders who want clarity on which part of the thesis is weakest, not a single monolithic “validation” score.

How it fits your journey

Serves as the bridge between the Idea Book (what you claim) and concrete tests in surveys, interviews, and other tools.

Getting started

From the Validation hub, open an area and update status, links, and next steps as you learn.
