The Hustle Rate test

Run the smallest test that can produce evidence.

Describe the product and outcome before creating the complete asset. Put the offer in front of the intended audience and measure meaningful actions rather than compliments.

Pass condition: Evidence of demand strong enough to justify the production time.
