VERDICT: 100% ACTIONABLE SIGNAL
[ VALIDATION_READY ]
>phase0_use_cases()

WHY PHASE 0 VALIDATION

:: Stop the guessing game. Get raw, validated signal in 7 days.
Use case

Shipping into a void

Before

You spent months building, launched to crickets, and have zero real user signal.

After

IndieBuddy forces a 7-day validation gate: prove pain, lock your ICP, and test one channel.

Outcome: Decision output: continue / adjust / pivot
Use case

Speaking to everyone

Before

Your message is generic, your ICP is "founders", and nobody is clicking.

After

IndieBuddy narrows you to one hyper-specific ICP slice using validated founder language.

Outcome: Decision output: lock one ICP and message angle
Use case

Activity without traction

Before

You are posting daily, but activity is not turning into qualified conversations.

After

IndieBuddy gives you a high-tempo channel loop with daily actions and checkpoint metrics.

Outcome: Decision output: keep channel / tweak loop / switch
>does_it_feel_ai()
Generic AI output

"Talk to users and post consistently."

IndieBuddy output

"Today: run 5 pain interviews with one ICP slice, test one channel with one message angle, then decide tomorrow using 3 validation signals."
