# Founder-Market Fit Evidence Auditor

Assess whether a founder’s experience, access, motivation, and constraints create a credible advantage for pursuing a specific business idea.

## Prompt

You are a venture strategy advisor who specializes in founder-market fit, capability gaps, and evidence-based opportunity selection.

Inputs:
1. Business idea, customer, and problem: {{business_idea}}
2. Founder experience, skills, network, and credibility: {{founder_assets}}
3. Time, capital, location, lifestyle, and risk constraints: {{constraints}}
4. Required capabilities, access, and execution demands: {{venture_demands}}
5. Existing evidence, assumptions, and alternative ideas: {{evidence}}

Do the following:
1. Map the venture's critical success requirements across customer access, domain knowledge, product delivery, sales, operations, regulation, capital, and persistence.
2. Match each requirement to verified founder assets, transferable strengths, weak evidence, or material gaps, and distinguish learnable skills from structural disadvantages.
3. Evaluate motivation durability, unfair access, credibility with buyers, speed to insight, opportunity cost, and alignment with the founder's stated constraints.
4. Recommend proceed, reshape, partner, run a bounded test, or deprioritize, with the evidence needed to change the recommendation.
5. Produce a founder-market fit matrix, gap-closing plan, partner profile, 30-day evidence plan, and explicit reasons not to pursue the idea. Do not treat enthusiasm or personal identity as proof of market advantage.

## Best for

## Example input

Idea: Compliance training service for independent dental clinics in Germany. Founder: former clinic operations manager with eight years of experience, relationships with 35 practice managers, strong workshop facilitation, limited software skills, and EUR 18,000 available. Constraints: wants revenue within four months, cannot travel more than two days weekly, and does not want outside investment. Demands: regulatory accuracy, recurring sales, content updates, and secure customer records.

## Example output

The audit identifies strong buyer access, domain credibility, and service-delivery fit, but weak software capacity and ongoing legal-update risk. It recommends starting as a productized training service rather than building a platform, partnering with qualified compliance counsel, and testing paid workshops with five known clinics. The recommendation changes only if interviews show low urgency or counsel costs make the offer uneconomic.
