TAL Consulting
For New Ideas

You have an idea.Let's find out ifit can become a business.

Before you build, spend, or commit months of your life, we help you find out if the market actually agrees. A structured 6-stage process. A clear answer at the end.

42% of startups fail because there was no real market need. We help you find out before it costs you.

42%of startups

fail because there was no market need, not because the idea was bad.

Source: CB Insights, “The Top 12 Reasons Startups Fail”. Analysis of 101 startup post-mortems. No market need is the single largest cause of startup failure.

Most ideas don’t fail because they’re bad.

They fail because the wrong questions were skipped at the start. The pattern repeats across industries, team sizes, and budgets.

Assumptions are treated as facts until the money runs out.

Customers are assumed, not verified.

The business model is figured out after the product is built.

Execution begins before the problem is properly understood.

We fix this by bringing structure before execution.

Five questions

The five questions that determine if your idea is worth building.

Is this idea worth pursuing at all?

01

Who is the real customer, and will they pay?

02

What problem are you actually solving?

03

How does this make money sustainably?

04

What is the smallest thing you can build to find out?

05
The Framework

Six stages. One clear answer.

Every idea goes through the same process. No shortcuts, no guessing.

Stage 01

Problem Framing

Find the actual problem, not just the symptom.

Stage 02

Assumption Mapping

Turn ideas into testable statements.

Stage 03

Research and Validation

Find who pays to solve this.

Stage 04

Business Model Structuring

Work out how the business actually makes money.

Stage 05

Small Test

Run the smallest test that gets you a real answer.

Stage 06

Decision Gate

Build, pivot, or kill based on the evidence.

[ BUILD / PIVOT / KILL ]

Our output: build, pivot, or kill. Every engagement ends with a clear direction.

What you walk away with

Four things every engagement delivers.

A definitive answer: build, pivot, or stop.

A tested business model, not just a good idea.

Core assumptions validated before you spend.

A clear first move, if the answer is build.

Why this is different

Not a mentor. Not an accelerator. Not guesswork.

A mentor gives you a view. We give you a process.

Every stage is structured. Every output is documented. You walk away with a real answer, not a feeling.

An accelerator gives you community. We give you clarity.

We are not interested in a cohort experience. We work on your specific idea, with your specific assumptions, against your specific market.

"Build and see" is expensive. We help you see before you build.

The smallest test that gets a real answer is worth more than 6 months of building the wrong thing.

Your idea deserves a real answer. Not a guess.

Tell us about the idea. We will listen, ask the right questions, and give you an honest view of where to start.

No pressure. No pitch. Just an honest conversation.
