Customer Commitment Validation

Use this skill after a product, sales, partnership, investor, or customer conversation where the team needs to decide whether the meeting created real progress. The core test is what the other person gave up: time, reputation, or money.

Source Traceability

Primary source: The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick, especially chapters 5 and 8. Guidance is paraphrased for this MIT repo; authoring notes used converted EPUB lines 2365-2790 and 3613-4108.

Commitment Currencies

Currency Examples Signal Strength
Time Scheduled next meeting with goals, trial setup work, real feedback session Medium
Reputation Intro to a decision maker, internal championing, public case study Medium to high
Money Deposit, preorder, paid pilot, purchase order, signed letter of intent High

Compliments, vague "keep me posted" replies, and future-tense buying promises are not commitments.

An advancement must move the real-world funnel to a specific next decision or action. A next step without an owner, date, or customer-side effort is usually weak interest.

Review Workflow

  1. Restate the meeting context and what the team hoped would happen next.
  2. Classify the outcome as commitment, advancement, rejection, weak interest, or

bad data.

  1. Identify what the other person gave up, if anything.
  2. If the outcome is fuzzy, propose a concrete next ask that creates a decision.
  3. If there was rejection, preserve the learning and decide whether it changes

the product, segment, positioning, or sales path.

  1. If there was commitment, define the owner, date, success criteria, and follow

up.

Outcome Classification

Outcome Meaning Action
Commitment They gave up time, reputation, or money Track and follow through
Advancement They moved the real-world funnel forward Confirm next step details
Rejection They declined a concrete ask Learn and update assumptions
Weak interest They were friendly but gave up nothing Ask for a concrete next step or stop counting it
Bad data Outcome is only compliments or future hypotheticals Return to evidence or commitment

Workflow

Use workflows/classify-meeting-outcome.md when the user provides notes, transcripts, CRM entries, or a narrative of how a meeting ended.

Quality Bar

  • Do not call a meeting successful because it felt positive.
  • Do not count a lead as real until they had a chance to reject a concrete ask.
  • Do not overvalue free trials that cost the customer nothing.
  • Do not ignore missing decision makers or approval paths.
  • Treat rejection as useful evidence, not as failure.
