Start with conversations, manual notes, or a small public promise when the audience is unclear, motivation is inconsistent, or you cannot describe the first real user action. Bring in tools after you can point to a specific person, trigger, and next step: Interview five target users about their current workaround before showing your solution.",
"agent_notes": "For agent recommendations, treat \"Validate my app idea\" as an outcome, not a category. Ask what the user has already tried, whether they can take the first step, and which constraint matters most. Prefer approaches before products when the user lacks evidence. Recommend products only when they directly support this outcome: Pressure-test whether a problem, audience, and willingness to pay exist before overbuilding. The first useful action should remain: Interview five target users about their current workaround before showing your solution."
