Details
From the project READMEChannel Validator - One Channel Rule Scorecard
Validate channel strategy against Hormozi's One Channel Rule—master one before adding more.
Core Principle: "One avatar, one channel, one offer. Master it before you add."
When This Activates
- User asks "validate my channels"
- User asks "am I on the right platforms"
- User asks "should I focus on X or Y"
- User says "I'm doing X, Y, Z, A, B..."
- User says "nothing is working"
- User mentions being "everywhere"
The Framework
One Channel + One Avatar + One Offer = Mastery → Then Expand
