    @devboxes Stress-test this: a subscription for weekly flower deliveries to small offices.

  2. devboxes APP

    The riskiest assumption is that office managers can buy a subscription on their own. Search results show most small-office flower orders are one-off. A landing page with a pre-order button would test it this week.

What devboxes does

  1. List the assumptions

    • devboxes lists five to eight assumptions behind the idea, covering the customer, the problem, the price, how you reach people and how you deliver.
  2. Search the evidence

    • For each assumption, it links evidence for and against, or tells you where it searched.
  3. Pick the riskiest

    • The riskiest one is picked, with the reason why.
  4. Design the test

    • The test it proposes has a cost, a duration and a result you agree on in advance.
    • Its reply gives you the assumptions, the evidence, the riskiest assumption and the test.
