    In a recent issue of Jakob Greenfeld's newsletter, he talked about how people tend to fall into two camps: either we overthink everything and never launch, or we rush to ship half-baked ideas. It hit home for me, as I've been guilty of both.

    So, I thought I'd create a little tool that might help. It's inspired by Jakob's "tight aggressive" concept, and it's here to help you quickly assess if an idea is worth pursuing.

    Think of it as a friendly reality check before you dive too deep. It's not about crushing dreams, just about making sure we're putting our energy into the right places.
