The 7-day validation sprint
Day one is research. Day two is offer framing. Day three is asset outline. Days four to seven are publishing, outreach, and measurement.
What counts as proof
A single sale is useful, but replies and opt-ins also matter because they reveal demand and objections.
| Signal | Good sign | Bad sign |
|---|---|---|
| Replies | Specific questions | Generic likes |
| Opt-ins | People want the asset | No one saves it |
| Clicks | Paid guide curiosity | No next-step interest |
| Objections | Clear fixable concerns | No buyer urgency |
