A structured product-judgment engine. Four gates; most ideas die early, that is the point. Give Claude a roadmap, an idea, or a build-vs-buy question; it runs the filter and returns a verdict. Willing to answer "don't build anything."

01How it works
Four gates. Pore size shrinks downstream.
Each gate can kill the idea, and killing early is the point. An idea that dies at Gate 1 saves everything below it.

02Output
Every run ends in a verdict.
## Verdict Classification: DISCIPLINE | TOOLING-EARNED | HYBRID The 20%: the 1 to 3 moves that carry the impact, each with its number The no-list: everything cut, one defensible line each Riskiest assumption: the load-bearing one most likely false Cheapest disconfirming test: what to run, the cost, what kills it Epitaphs: killed ideas, what killed each and what resurrects it
