AI product ideas: 7-Point DFM Rubric vs 65% Scrap — Build or Kill

Score AI product ideas against 7 DFM points before CAD spend. Use a 65% scrap baseline, replace it with your own tooling trial data, and kill failing concepts early. Independent technical note mirroring the canonical version: https://graftconcepts.com/blog/ai-product-ideas-7-point-dfm-rubric-vs-65-scrap-build-or-kill.php

Abstract

Score AI product ideas against 7 DFM points before CAD spend. Use a 65% scrap baseline, replace it with your own tooling trial data, and kill failing concepts early. Independent technical note mirroring the canonical version: https://graftconcepts.com/blog/ai-product-ideas-7-point-dfm-rubric-vs-65-scrap-build-or-kill.php
