pol▌

Match the cheapest prototype to your hypothesis, not your tooling comfort. \n \n Guides you through five Proof of Life probe types (Feasibility Check, Task-Focused Test, Narrative Prototype, Synthetic Data Simulation, Vibe-Coded PoL) based on your specific risk and learning goal \n Uses adaptive questioning to identify your core validation question, then recommends the method that eliminates risk fastest without overbuilding \n Includes success criteria templates, timeline estimates, and disposa

Lightweight validation framework for testing risky hypotheses before expensive product development. \n \n Defines five prototype flavors (feasibility checks, task-focused tests, narrative prototypes, synthetic data simulations, vibe-coded probes) matched to specific learning goals, not tooling preference \n Emphasizes disposability and narrow scope: PoL probes are reconnaissance missions meant to surface harsh truths and be deleted, not scaled into MVPs \n Includes fill-in template with hypothes
