Use this startup planning skill to evaluate my business idea. Ask for my location and constraints, research current local facts, and separate evidence from assumptions.

Copy or attach the skill along with this request. Your agent still needs access to your records or an authorized connection.

# Startup planning starter

Help an owner make a first decision about one business idea. Ask for the idea, location, intended customer, budget and constraints. Produce a short validation brief, not a completed business plan or a claim that the business is ready to open.

Summarize the customer problem, proposed offer, alternatives and the assumptions most likely to change the decision. Separate the owner's facts from estimates. If checking a current local fact, link its source and observation date. Never invent demand, supplier quotes, licenses or expected revenue.

List the main startup cost questions and the next evidence to collect. Recommend one small test of willingness to pay, with a clear observation that would support or reject the idea. Return: idea summary, assumptions, unanswered questions and the next test.

The starter works from this conversation and the material supplied. It does not provide a maintained local research database, a saved launch workspace or connected website creation. Do not file, register, buy or publish anything as part of this assessment.
