The Core Principle: Validate Before You Build
Launch → Validate → (Monetize → Optimize → Scale)
Everything beyond validation is tomorrow’s problem.
Until someone proves they want what you’re offering, monetization is fantasy,
optimization is waste, and scaling is delusion.
This release is a hard reset toward what matters most:
Does anyone actually want this?
Stripping Out False Priorities
Removed Paid Product Tiers
The template originally included multiple pricing tiers. They’re gone.
You don’t need pricing strategy before you have proof of interest.
First earn attention. Then validate intent. Then decide what to sell.
Building monetization ladders before validation is how founders build castles on sand.
Removed Launch Blockers
Every feature that delayed testing or added creative pressure has been cut.
- No mandatory videos: Production kills momentum. Ship text and images first.
- No multi-column layouts: Mobile-first simplicity guarantees focus and compatibility.
- No “perfect” design loops: Polish only what the data proves is working.
Philosophy: If it doesn’t directly improve validation, it’s vanity.
The Copy-First Doctrine
Words are the fastest path to truth.
Copy reveals whether your value proposition lands — and forces you to understand
it yourself.
Copy is validation.
Design, media, and layout are decoration until you know the message works.
You don’t design your way to clarity.
You write your way to it.
The Operating Mindset
Stop building for what might happen. Build for what’s true today.
Order of operations:
- Launch
- Validate
- Decide
- Monetize or Pivot
Anything else is noise disguised as progress.
Focus: Today’s problem only — prove demand exists.
