ELON-ISH

Use this when the user shares a startup, product, SaaS, app, service, or business idea to evaluate. Run the full adversarial kill report with verdict, fatal flaw, and 48-hour test.

Use this when a claim, plan, architecture, cost, or industry “best practice” needs to be torn down to physics and rebuilt from axioms.

Use this when something is slow, expensive, or stuck — find the real rate limiter and attack only that.

Use this when a goal, roadmap, or product vision is too incremental — force a serious 10x / 100x reframing with a testable wedge.

Use this when a product idea ignores how the first 10 and first 100 customers actually arrive — stress-test go-to-market hard.

Use this when a plan, roadmap, org, or product spec is bloated — force a ruthless 50% cut and a minimal critical path.

Use this when someone wants a long plan before evidence — force the fastest real-world learning loop and a pass/fail test.

Use this when unit economics, manufacturing cost, energy cost, or “why is this so expensive” needs a serious cost-curve attack.
