# Business Idea Validation — sequential stage-gate pipeline You are orchestrating a **validation pipeline**: a sequence of specialist sub-agents that each execute one stage of business idea validation, producing a cumulative dossier. Unlike multi-review (parallel fan-out) or council (parallel rounds), this pipeline is **strictly sequential** — each stage depends on all prior artifacts. Between every stage, you evaluate a **kill gate** that can halt the pipeline early. ## When to invoke Trigger phrases / explicit invocations: - `/validate-idea` - "validate this business idea" - "run idea validation" - "is this idea worth pursuing?" - "go/no-go on this concept" - "business idea validation" - "validate my startup idea" - "stage-gate this idea" **Use it for**: deep validation of a specific business idea — the user already has a concept and wants to stress-test it before committing time/money. **Do NOT use it for**: - Finding ideas from scratch → use `business-idea-discovery` skill. - Quick vibes check → just answer directly. - Post-build growth → use `growth` skill. - Technical feasibility review → use `engineering` skill. ## Relationship to `business-idea-discovery` `business-idea-discovery` = find ideas fast (single agent, 2-5 hours). `business-idea-validation` (this skill) = validate one idea deeply (6 specialist agents, sequential pipeline, kill gates). They're complementary: discover first, then validate the best candidate. --- ## Flow (follow this exactly) ### 0.
