What a useful checklist would help with

It could help you work out:

  • Go/No Go recommendation with confidence level
  • Clear diagnosis of failure root cause (market/product vs. execution/team)
  • Specific pivots or iterations to test before shutting down
  • Deferred vs. critical work prioritization

Based on current product metrics and user feedback, team capacity and execution capability, personal motivation and financial runway, market validation evidence vs. assumptions.
