Writing a plan at the idea stage

At pre-traction stage the plan's job is to make your assumptions visible so you can test the dangerous ones cheaply, not to predict year three.

Write the assumptions down

Who cares, what they pay, how you reach them. Once written, they can be tested; while unwritten, they get defended.

Pick a beachhead

One segment you can reach with the resources you have this quarter. Expansion is a later chapter.

Decide what "working" means

A signal — ten paying users, a signed pilot, a 30% reply rate — that tells you to continue or stop.

Model before product polish

Charging model, unit economics and channel are usually the harder problems than the build.

Keep it disposable

Regenerate the plan after each meaningful learning. A plan that never changes at this stage is a warning sign.
