Frequently asked Questions About Offer Validation
What is an Offer Signal?
The Offer Signal is a free, automated read on your offer. About 5 minutes to fill in; results in under an hour. It gives you a directional Go, Go With Conditions, Change Course, Stop or Wait answer, without a signature, and names your single biggest risk. A quick way to sanity-check an offer before you spend anything.
What is the Build Verdict?
The signed tier of Offer Validation. A named verifier reviews your offer across all 12 evidence lenses, each graded A–E, runs a multi-persona stress-test, defines the stop criteria and signs the verdict personally. £149 (India: ₹6,999) plus applicable taxes, delivered within 24 hours of payment, covered by the 30-Day Honest Verdict Guarantee.
What is the difference between the Offer Signal and the Build Verdict?
The Offer Signal is free, automated and unsigned: a directional read with your biggest risk named. The Build Verdict is the full 12-lens verdict with sourced market evidence, a stress-test, stop criteria and a named verifier's signature. It is a decision document you can take to co-founders, a board or an investor.
What do I need to provide?
A plain description of the offer: what you sell, who buys it, the outcome you promise and the price. Company name is optional, and a phone number is needed for payment on the Build Verdict. No calls or long intake interviews. If you want to check the offer yourself first, the free
Offer Self-Check asks five questions.
What does 'signed' mean?
The Build Verdict is a signed PDF that states the decision, the evidence it is based on and the stop criteria. A named human verifier has read it, checked the sources and put their name to it. If they will not sign it, it does not ship.
What are stop criteria?
Stop criteria are the specific conditions under which a Go flips to Change Course or Stop. Defining them upfront means you know exactly what would change the decision.
How fast is delivery?
Offer Signal: under 1 hour after you confirm your email. Build Verdict: within 24 hours of payment (target; we tell you if a brief needs longer).
Can I upgrade from the Build Verdict?
Yes. The Build Verdict fee is credited in full to a Decision Brief booked within 30 days of delivery. One credit per order, void if the Build Verdict is refunded.
What is the difference between market validation, idea validation and offer validation?
Idea validation asks whether a problem is worth solving at all. Market validation asks whether enough buyers have that problem and will pay to solve it. Offer validation is narrower and comes later: whether this specific offer, at this price, for this buyer, will sell. ThriveFinity validates offers.
How do you do market validation?
Gather evidence that real buyers have the problem, want your solution and will pay for it before you commit budget: buyer conversations, a priced offer, pre-orders or letters of intent, and a check of what buyers use today instead. Offer validation applies the same test to one specific offer and price.
Can I use this to validate a business idea?
Yes, if the idea is concrete enough to describe as an offer: who it is for, what they get and what it costs. Write it up that way and run the free Offer Signal. If you are still exploring the problem, start with our
idea validation framework.
