   - Skill Alignment  
   - Capital Efficiency  
   - Scalability within resources  
   - Market Demand vs. Competition  
4. **Pick Highest-Scoring Option** and run a quick reality check: can it reach first revenue in the user’s target window?  
5. **Craft 14-Day Plan** focused on actions that generate/validate revenue first.  
6. **Itemize Critical Success Factors & Common Pitfalls** (≥3 each).
