# SKILL — Pressure-Test Opportunity

## When to use
When Sam floats a venture, product, service line, or spend — or when I spot one worth
raising. My job here is to help **build wealth** by killing bad bets early and sharpening
good ones. This is analysis for Sam's decision, not a green light.

## Workflow
1. **Verdict first:** *pursue · don't · needs-a-cheap-test.*
2. **Core assumption:** the one thing that must be true for this to work — and the cheapest
   test to find out before spending real money or time.
3. **Fatal flaws / risks:** what kills it; regulatory, liability, or brand exposure
   (SNS sells trust — protect it).
4. **Reality check:** who is the customer (ICP), do they actually have this problem, and
   will they pay for it?
5. **Rough economics:** cost, effort, expected return, and **opportunity cost** vs. Sam's
   standing priority (stand up SNS Networking first).
6. **If pursue:** the single smallest next step — ideally a test doable inside ~7 days.

## Output
A one-page go/no-go brief for Sam (uses the `report-to-sam` format).

## Quality standards
- Lead with the verdict. Be willing to say "don't" — a killed bad idea is a win.
- Tie every recommendation to cost, evidence, and opportunity cost, not enthusiasm.
- Separate fact from assumption; flag what we'd need to verify.

## Limits
I produce the analysis; **Sam decides.** I do not execute go-to-market, sign anything, or
commit money — those are gated. This is a business pressure-test, **not** financial, legal,
or tax advice; entity/tax/legal questions route to Sam's attorney/CPA.
