# Validate {% hint style="success" %} _{You leave Validate with a} _{**paper trail**} _{you can show a cofounder, a mentor, or future you.} {% endhint %}

_{This page means}

Validate is	Validate is not
_{A serious pass with staged work}	_{A single button that prints “validated” without evidence}
_{A writer to your validation page in Notion}	_{A replacement for your own judgment on market risk}

_{The four stages (names you will see)}

Stage	What it means in one breath
_{Prepare Notion validation page}	_{Workspace and Notion agree on where the report will live}
_{P01 signal research (web)}	_{Structured web research pass}
_{Rubric plus rescore decision}	_{The rubric does the disciplining, not your optimism}
_{Write report to Notion}	_{Human readable output lands where your team already works}

_{Modal contract}

_{**Validation pipeline**} _{uses the same family of rules as Discover:} * _{Steps are enumerated so you can speak them out loud on a call.} * _{**Closing the window does not stop validation.**} _{If you need focus elsewhere, fine. If you need the run to stop, use the product controls meant for that job, not the close button as a superstition.} {% hint style="warning" %} If Notion saved the report but ARIA did not store DB history, the product surfaces a specific notice. Treat that as an operator alert, not as “ignore it.” {% endhint %}

^{Three habits}

{% stepper %} {% step %} _**First** ^{_{Validate one idea at a time when you are learning the system. Parallel runs are for teams who already know their failure modes.}} {% endstep %} {% step %} _**Second** ^{_{If a run fails, screenshot the modal and the idea title. Narration beats memory, it will be in your personal Notion.}} {% endstep %} {% step %} _**Third** ^{_{Re-read the written report in Notion before you declare victory in Slack. The workspace UI is the cockpit. Notion is the black box recording.}} {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ***

_{Ask yourself}

_{What sentence in the Notion report would you be embarrassed to read aloud if it were wrong?}
_{That sentence is your quality bar for the next run.}
