Quick weekend add for anyone running the Mother Test on what they're currently building.
The trap I see most often: people apply the Mother Test to the *idea* but skip applying it to the *math*.
"Would I sell this strategy to my mom" is the easy version.
The harder version is: "Would I sell this exact pricing tier, with these exact churn assumptions, to my mom and feel okay about it 12 months from now?"
If the strategy passes but the math wobbles when you're honest about churn, refunds, or platform risk — that's not a green light. That's still a fail.
Carry that one into the weekend.
