What are you trying to get done?
You should not have to learn how to talk to an AI to get a straight answer about your business. So we wrote the requests for you. Pick what you're trying to achieve — each one runs a procedure Miles already knows, not a lucky sentence.
Is this idea any good?
Before you spend money — who wants it, what they pay today, and whether to go ahead.

- Find out if anyone will pay me — before I start a businessTwo weeks, one service, one price, a card and a page — then a real job invoiced and paid, or an honest no that cost you almost nothing.
- Work out exactly who my first customer isA specific person, not a demographic — specific enough that you could go and find ten of them.
- Write interview questions that get honest answersFive questions about what people have actually done and paid — plus twenty people to ask, and how to reach them.
