Startup Validation Pipeline

Orchestrate a 6-stage startup validation pipeline. Each stage is executed by a dedicated agent, produces a confidence-scored markdown report, and presents a decision gate.

Pipeline Stages

#StageAgentDecision Gate
1Problem & Market Validation
market-validator
Is this a real problem worth solving?
2Feasibility Analysis
feasibility-analyst
Can this be built legally and operationally?
3Product & Solution Design
product-designer
Can we design a differentiated product?
4Business Model & Strategy
business-strategist
Can this become profitable and defensible?
5Go-to-Market & Growth
growth-strategist
Can we acquire users sustainably?
6Execution Roadmap
execution-planner
Can we build and launch realistically?

Arguments

Parse from

$ARGUMENTS
:

FlagEffect
"<idea>"
The startup idea to validate (required — or use
@file
)
@<file>
Provide idea description or research brief from a file
--preset <name>
Load preset from
presets/
dir (composable)
--fast
Skip decision gates, run all stages autonomously
--deep
Spawn parallel sub-agents per stage + critic synthesis
--from <N>
Resume from stage N (reads prior reports from disk)
--stage <N>
Run only stage N in isolation
--name <slug>
Override auto-generated run slug

Orchestration

See WORKFLOW.md for the complete orchestration protocol including:

  • Slug generation and output directory setup
  • Preset loading and composition
  • Stage execution (standard and deep modes)
  • Decision gate interaction
  • Summary scorecard generation

Output

Reports are saved to
