The independent standard for venture validation. Evidence over narrative. The Venture Validation Standard (VVS) measures a venture's progress from idea to product-market fit across five dimensions (Ecosystem, Target Customer, Customer Problem, Customer Job, Value Capture), scored twice: self-assessed under named signature, and independently. The gap between the two scores, the delta, is the risk signal.
