Problem
"I'll just post it on IH for free."
You ship the fake-door on a Saturday. Sunday you post it on IndieHackers, r/SaaS, X. By Wednesday you have 12 upvotes, four "looks cool!" comments, and zero buyers. Other founders nodding at your idea is not a market.
Two more weeks of refreshing the analytics tab. Maybe a paid X post. The signal never gets sharper because the audience never changes — it's other people building, not the people you'd sell to.
By week three you've burned 20+ hours of your week, you still don't have a number, and v2 is starting to feel like the safer bet than knowing. So you just build it.
How it works
A 7-day validation pack, end-to-end.
-
1 Day 1Intake
You send a paragraph about the idea and who you think buys it. We come back with the fake-door headline, the ICP segment we'll target, and the channel pick (Meta, Reddit, or LinkedIn) the same day.
-
2 Days 2–6Build + run
We ship the fake-door page, write the ad creative, and run paid traffic to your real ICP — not the IH crowd. You get a live link and we watch the funnel.
-
3 Day 71-page report
You get a single page back: CTR, CTA-press rate, ICP breakdown, drop-off heatmap, and a yes/no with the reasons. No deck. No call required.
What you get
One page. Every number you need to decide.
- CTR + CTA-press — How many real people clicked the ad, and how many pressed the buy/signup button on the page. The two numbers that actually matter.
- ICP breakdown — Who converted: which job title, company size, channel. So a "no" can still tell you you targeted the wrong cohort.
- Drop-off heatmap — Where readers bounce on the page — hero, features, pricing — so you know what to fix if you re-run.
- Yes/no with reasons — A one-paragraph verdict with the two or three signals it's based on. Not a score. Not a vibe.
How we score yes/no — Bayesian thresholds on CTR + CTA-press, broken out by ICP segment. So a 2% CTR in front of the right cohort beats a 5% CTR in front of the wrong one.
