For the person sitting on an idea

Your half-built app is making someone else $50K/mo right now.

The idea isn’t the problem. Not shipping it is. Free: the Kill Filter, a 30-minute Claude Code intro, and 5 skills.

Also included: a PDF of the 5 most common walls non-technical founders hit with Claude Code and how to skip them.

The problem

You don’t need another tool. The idea is fine. You just haven’t finished it.

Today

You have an idea. You’ve had it for a while. You’ve opened Cursor twice this week and closed it.

3 months from now

Same idea. Same head. Same tabs.

6 months from now

Someone less talented than you ships a worse version of it and charges $29/mo. You see their ad. You feel something specific.

The fix

Not more research. A process — Ideate, Validate, Blueprint, Ship, Sell — that gets you from “vague idea” to “real customer paying you.”

This free intro shows you what that looks like.

What you get

Three things, one kit, zero dollars.

  • 01 A 30-minute video walking through the Vibe-to-Ship Protocol at a surface level.
  • 02 5 Claude Code skills — the ones I run before every session. They prevent the slop.
  • 03 One email a day for 10 days — real examples, real failures, the things I teach inside Build Room.

No upsell wall. No “book a call.” Put your email in and watch.

04 · The headline thing

The Kill Filter

A tool I built that scores your idea against a 5-criteria rubric. Kills it if it’s bad. Generates the build files if it’s good.

$0 here. Saves you weeks of building the wrong product.

Inside the Kill Filter

Most AI tells you yes. The Kill Filter is built to say no.

Ask Claude or ChatGPT if your idea is good — you'll get a paragraph that says yes. AI is trained to be encouraging. That's why your last 12 ideas all sounded great in the chat and zero of them shipped.

The Kill Filter is calibrated the other way. It scores every idea against five criteria pulled from market data — not vibes — and it's biased toward kill. The ones that survive are the ones worth your next 30 days.

Output:a score out of 50, a verdict, and either the four build files (CLAUDE.md, spec.md, stack.md, cut-list.md) or a one-line reason it’s dead.

The Vibe-to-Ship Protocol

Five stages. No skipping. No rabbit holes.

Every stage produces an artifact you can see, run, and copy. Click through to watch what each one actually outputs.

Stage 01 · Ideate

The Kill Filter scores your idea in 4 minutes.

Drop in 3 ideas. The Kill Filter scores each one against a 5-criteria rubric, kills the bad ones, and on the survivor it generates the files you need to start building — CLAUDE.md, scope, stack, the whole skeleton. You stop falling in love with bad ideas. You get this tool free when you sign up.

Output: 1 idea worth building, 2 dead.
Stage 02 · Validate

$30 ad. Landing page. 72 hours. No code.

Before you write a line of code, prove someone will pay. We run a tiny ad to a deposit page and watch what happens. Clicks are vanity. Deposits are signal.

Verdict → Build it. 7 strangers paid $5 each before you wrote a line of code. That’s pre-validation. Now you have $35 and 7 people waiting.
Output: real proof someone will pay.
Stage 03 · Blueprint

One file. Four features. Everything else cut.

Claude produces a CLAUDE.md that scopes the MVP, names what gets built, names what gets cut, and locks the stack. This is the file that keeps you out of the rabbit hole.

Output: a scope that fits in your head.
Stage 04 · Ship

Auth, payments, deploy. Skip the walls.

Three things kill 90% of vibe-coded apps: Supabase auth, Stripe webhooks, deployment. We pre-solve all three with the Wall-Skip Kit. Your job: paste the prompts, watch it build.

Output: a real URL real strangers can hit.
Stage 05 · Sell

First real dollar. Then the next one.

Email the 7 people who deposited. Send the link. Watch the Stripe pings come in. The metric isn’t MRR yet. The metric is: did someone you don’t know pay you for something you made?

Output: identity change. You’re a builder now.

That’s the process. Skip the rabbit holes. Start with the Kill Filter.

Receipts

Things people actually said. Not testimonials I wrote.

★★★★★
“Built working automations in weeks (not months) and finally feel like I’m doing something with AI, not just watching from the sidelines.
Alicia Polan

From day one, I’ve already gotten more than my money’s worth. I was previously paying $90/mo for not even half of what this community has to offer.

Fit check

The Kill Filter, applied to the audience.

For

You, if any of these are true.

  • ✓ You’ve been paying for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, or some combo of them — and haven’t shipped a product.
  • ✓ You’ve got ideas but can’t tell which ones are worth building.
  • ✓ You often jump from idea to idea when things get hard.
  • ✓ You’re not a developer and you’re tired of hitting your AI credit limits.
  • ✓ You want one process that works, not ten more tools.
Not for

Skip this if…

  • × You want a “get rich in a weekend” fantasy.
  • × You’re not willing to follow the process.
  • × You want me in the room with you. This is teach-yourself with a process. The cohort exists for that — that’s not this.

Shameless CTA.

If nothing above sold you, here’s the retro infomercial version. Same offer.
