Turn a validated idea into a risk-ordered sequence of experiments and build steps, with one hard rule — no product code is scheduled before the test that de-risks it. Use whenever someone has an idea worth building and asks what to do in what order — "what should I build first", "what order do I tackle this", "sequence this plan", "de-risk this roadmap", or presents a build plan that front-loads construction ahead of validation. The method lists the load-bearing assumptions, scores each by risk divided by cost-to-test, orders experiments cheapest-decisive first with kill-gates between them, places every build step after its unlocking test, and defers governance, breadth, and optimization until their gates clear — then emits an ordered sequence and a linter that flags build-before-its-test. Distinct from task-decomposition and overwhelm-breakdown (which collapse a big task to one next step for momentum) and agent-orchestration (which sequences build phases); this sequences de-risking ahead of building.
