You don't need to know everything. You need to know what to do next. This skill tells you where you are and what skill to use.
Find your current stage. Start there — don't skip ahead.
You know a problem exists in your field. You haven't validated whether anyone else cares enough to pay.
Do this:
Time: 1-2 weeks. Cost: $0-200.
Gate: Do NOT move to Stage 2 until you have signal that real people want this. Signal = email signups, survey responses, or pre-payments. "My friends think it's cool" is not signal.
You have evidence people want this. Now you need to decide what the minimum product looks like.
Do this:
Time: 1-2 weeks.
Gate: You should have a written spec that describes what the user sees and does, not a list of features. If your spec takes more than 2-4 weeks to build, cut more.
You have a spec. Time to choose your tool and build the thing.
Do this:
Time: 2-4 weeks for an MVP.
Gate: The app works. Happy path is functional. You've tested it yourself. It doesn't need to be perfect — it needs to be usable.
The app works locally or in your dev environment. Time to put it on the internet.
Do this:
Time: 1-2 days for deploy. 1 week for payments + legal.
Gate: Someone can visit your URL, sign up, use the product, and pay you. go-live is your final checkpoint before opening the doors.
Your product is live. Nobody knows about it yet.
Do this:
Time: 2-4 weeks of active launch effort.
Gate: You have paying customers (even 5-10) and you're learning from their usage.
You have paying customers. Now build the engine.
Do this:
Time: Ongoing. This is the work from now on.
You're acquiring users. Now make sure they stick.
Do this:
You have product-market fit. Revenue is growing. Now scale.
