# Phase 5: Validation Planning

**Prompt 9 - Experiment Design**

Acting as a validation expert, help me design experiments to test our founding hypothesis over the next 2-4 weeks. Create a testing roadmap with: (1) assumption mapping (what must be true for our hypothesis to work), (2) experiment prioritization (highest risk/uncertainty first), (3) specific test designs (customer interviews, landing pages, prototypes, etc.), (4) success metrics and failure criteria, (5) resource requirements and timeline. Focus on maximum learning with minimum effort.

**Prompt 10 - Learning Framework Setup**

You're a startup advisor focused on rapid iteration. Help me establish a framework for capturing and acting on learnings from our validation experiments. Create templates for: (1) experiment documentation (hypothesis, method, results, insights), (2) decision-making criteria (when to pivot, persevere, or pause), (3) regular review cadence and team alignment processes, (4) hypothesis updating based on new evidence. Include specific trigger points that would require revisiting our Foundation Sprint conclusions.
