# Execution Scorecard: Vertigo relief app

Score: 65/100

Tier: Needs focused validation

Vertigo relief app scores 65/100 for execution readiness. The recommended next step is Build a lightweight landing page plus a no-code guided-Epley walkthrough and run targeted ads to vertigo/BPPV search terms; measure email signups and the share who complete the maneuver flow. Validate B2B demand by pitching 10-15 ENT/audiology/physio clinics on recommending it for between-visit home care and counting how many agree to trial it with patients.

## Bottlenecks
- Regulatory and medical-claims risk: positioning the app as treating or curing BPPV can trigger FDA software-as-a-medical-device scrutiny and liability; marketing must stay within wellness/educational claims and carry medical disclaimers.
- Clinical safety risk: the Epley maneuver is unsafe for some users (neck/back disease, vascular conditions, retinal detachment) and self-diagnosis may miss serious causes of vertigo such as stroke, so robust screening and escalation prompts are essential.
- Crowded niche with several established free and low-cost competitors and inherently low willingness-to-pay for an episodic, often self-resolving condition, making retention and recurring revenue difficult.
- A broad AI assistant can flatten differentiation unless the wedge is painfully specific.
- The first release can become a generic dashboard if the job is not named tightly.
- Needs real buyer access, not only desk research.
- Needs proof of budget or repeated urgency.

## Accelerators
- Can talk to the buyer before writing much code.
- Can ship a narrow first-win demo quickly.
- Can use local-first research artifacts to keep validation moving without a large team.
- Use specificity as the wedge: one buyer, one workflow, one measurable result.
- Show proof earlier than broad competitors with before-and-after examples and small pilot data.
- Keep implementation lighter than incumbent suites or generic AI assistants.
- Concierge review or paid template

## Dated Launch Plan
- **2026-08-13 / Frame the wedge**: Write the one-sentence promise and test it in the strongest channel. Proof: Build a lightweight landing page plus a no-code guided-Epley walkthrough and run targeted ads to vertigo/BPPV search terms; measure email signups and the share who complete the maneuver flow. Validate B2B demand by pitching 10-15 ENT/audiology/physio clinics on recommending it for between-visit home care and counting how many agree to trial it with patients.
- **2026-08-16 / Interview 10 people who match the buyer persona.**: Create the lead magnet and use it to recruit interviews. Proof: Problem resonance: 5+ calls or 10+ detailed replies.
- **2026-08-20 / Ship a clickable demo or concierge workflow that produces the first useful artifact.**: Build the smallest demo that proves the first win. Proof: Activation: 25% of demo visitors complete the first-win path.
- **2026-08-27 / Run one paid pilot or collect explicit pricing objections before automating the rest.**: Delete any report section that feels generic before building. Proof: Commercial pull: 3 paid pilots, LOIs, or concrete procurement next steps.
- **2026-09-03 / Promote to a deeper build plan only after the wedge survives validation.**: Run the lead magnet and first-win demo tests. Proof: Fewer than five qualified buyers agree to discuss the workflow after targeted outreach.
- **2026-09-12 / Execution checkpoint 6**: Promote to deeper implementation only once the wedge survives interviews or paid-pilot outreach. Proof: Promote to a deeper build plan only after the wedge survives validation.
