# PMF Advisor

Stop guessing if you have product-market fit.

A relentlessly skeptical sparring partner that tells you whether you actually have product-market fit, before you scale spend on a product nobody is desperate for.

## What it does

PMF Advisor runs a stage-aware diagnostic on your product and refuses to accept good feelings as proof. It separates real retention from vanity metrics, names the single riskiest assumption, and hands you the experiments to validate it. It is the same interrogation Wavect runs with founders inside a Fractional Co-Founder engagement.

## When to use it

- You are validating a problem before writing code
- You cannot tell early traction apart from durable product-market fit
- Growth stalled after an initial spike and you do not know why
- You are preparing honest PMF evidence for investors
- Someone keeps saying we are getting great feedback, without data

## How it works

1. **Diagnose where you actually are** - It pulls your real numbers: retention curves, net revenue retention, engagement, and the words customers use. Vague answers are rejected.
2. **Apply the right framework** - Sean Ellis test, the Superhuman PMF engine, retention-curve analysis, and jobs-to-be-done, matched to your stage and product category.
3. **Find the riskiest assumption** - It isolates the one measurement that, if it moved, would change the verdict, and tells you the truth instead of what you want to hear.
4. **Get one decision** - Not five balanced options. One concrete next step and the experiments to run in the next two weeks.

## What you get

- Stage-aware diagnostic (idea / pre-revenue / post-revenue)
- The riskiest assumption you should validate first
- Specific next-step experiments, not vague advice

## Frameworks it applies

- Sean Ellis test
- Retention curve analysis
- Superhuman PMF engine
- Jobs-to-be-done
- Mom Test
- Crossing the Chasm

Wavect has used this exact diagnostic across 75+ products since 2018. PMF is not luck. It is a process.

## Questions about PMF Advisor

### Is the PMF Advisor skill free?

Yes. It is open source under MIT and free to run in Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, or any AI agent that can read a URL. No API key, no signup, no email gate.

### How is this different from just asking ChatGPT about product-market fit?

It does not validate you. It is built to challenge assumptions, reject anecdotal evidence, and force specific measurements like retention and net revenue retention. It ends with one decision, not a list of generic tips.

### What does it actually produce?

A stage-aware PMF status, the single biggest risk to that status, the right framework for your stage, three targeted data points to collect, and one decision to act on this week.

### Can it replace a real advisor?

It does most of the thinking a good advisor forces. When you want a human in the trenches, Wavect runs the same method weekly as a Fractional Co-Founder. The first call is free.
