Gather more evidence or narrow the promise before producing it.

What the score measures

The scorecard asks whether the resource solves a known audience problem, promises a specific result, can be delivered reliably, supports the next customer decision, and explains the email exchange.

Each checked item adds one point. The tool does not predict conversion or commercial success.

Interpret the result

A low score means the concept needs evidence or a narrower promise. A middle score is ready for a small user test. A high score still needs factual review, accessible delivery, and a working unsubscribe process.

Keep the validation record

Print the result with the concept name and review date. Add interview notes, observed questions, or usage evidence outside this browser tool. Nothing entered here is stored or transmitted.
