Customer
One narrow segment, one job or occasion, one current substitute and one reason to switch.

System map
Ten dependencies, one decision chain.
Each box is a question to resolve or test. A lower startup-capital band does not remove the dependency.
Promise
A specific interpretation of Sock + Story + Daily that changes customer expectation.
Minimum Proof
A commitment-bearing test with thresholds defined before results are interpreted.
Acquisition
A bounded way to reach the selected audience; reach is not demand.
Delivery
What is made, written, packed, sent, supported or revealed for each customer.
Capacity
Time, inventory, creative throughput, support and exception handling.
Economics
Price, variable costs, acquisition, refunds, cash timing and fixed test costs.
Evidence
Observed commitments, refusals, objections, workload and repeat intent, with dates.
Rights & review
Name, assets, contracts, consumer obligations, tax and any specialist review needed.
Next gate
Stop, revise, repeat a bounded proof, or consider a deeper test.
Failure-mode view
A weak link is information, not embarrassment.
The point of first evidence is to discover which dependency deserves attention before more complexity is added.
| Failure signal | What it may mean | Safer next move |
|---|---|---|
| People like the theme but do not commit | Interest may not translate into a decision-worthy promise. | Revise the promise, audience or commitment ask. |
| Commitments arrive but fulfillment is slow | Delivery design or cadence may be capacity-limited. | Measure minutes, simplify the unit, batch work or change cadence. |
| Price response is weak | Value, payer, packaging or substitute comparison may be misaligned. | Record objections and test a changed offer rather than merely discounting. |
| Rights or compliance unknown blocks launch | A specialist question may be decision-critical. | Hold public treatment or real-world launch until reviewed. |
