Validator Install Guide
Validator, made by Avid, puts a product or company idea under pressure before you spend time building it. It starts with an office-hours style conversation like a startup accelerator would run, asking who has the problem and how they solve it today.
Then it hunts for real signs of demand on online forums and Product Hunt, plus GitHub and X, such as people complaining about the problem or paying for clumsy workarounds. It ends with a clear call: build it, narrow it to a smaller version or drop it. Getting a no early is cheaper than learning it after months of work. The office-hours questions are often the most useful part, because they force you to say who the customer is in plain words.
It suits founders, indie hackers and product teams weighing several ideas. Answer the office-hours questions honestly, read the evidence it finds rather than only the verdict and, if it says narrow, ask which smaller group of customers showed the strongest signal.

Worked Example: Testing a meal-prep app idea
Example only: an illustration of how a session could go, not a real client, case or result.
- You describe an app that plans meal prep for busy parents.
- Validator asks how parents handle this today and what they pay.
- It finds many forum threads but several free tools already cover the basics.
- It recommends narrowing to parents managing food allergies.
- You plan five interviews with that group.
