Full definition
A validation threshold keeps a test honest by making the decision rule explicit before feedback arrives. It may use interviews, deposits, pilots, or another observable action.
Why it matters
Without a threshold, it is too easy to reinterpret weak evidence as permission to keep building.
Example
Deciding that five qualified buyer calls with two pilot commitments is enough to write the first paid offer.
