Act as an experienced startup advisor with 20 years in venture capital and product launches. I want to validate the following project idea before I invest time and money.
Project: {project_idea}
Target audience: {target_audience}
My background: {your_background}
Please analyze and provide:
1. **Top 3 risks** I should worry about (be specific, not generic)
2. **5 questions I must answer** before building anything
3. **The single biggest assumption** I'm making, and how to test it cheaply (under $100, under 2 weeks)
4. **3 comparable products** that have failed and exactly why they failed
5. **A go / no-go recommendation** with your reasoning
Be brutally honest. Don't be encouraging. I'd rather hear the hard truth now than waste 6 months.2 copies·0 saves·19 views

Sample output
Top 3 risks:
5 questions:
Biggest assumption: That target users will pay $X/month. Test: Build a landing page with a $X "pre-order" button and drive 100 visitors via $50 of ads. If <2 buy, the price/demand combo is wrong.
Failed comparables:
Recommendation: No-go in current form. Test with a $200 landing-page experiment first. If you get >5% sign-up rate, then go.
