What comes first: Validation or preparation?

[eTox]

An interesting thought came to my mind and I just can't seem to decide.

What comes first: validation of an idea or the preparation, the research part?

I just don't know. It seems from my experience that I have to do a little of preparation before I could validate the idea, but then again when I validate the idea, I may be wrong or too optimistic because I have not gotten enough data first.

Or is validation just part of preparation? What's your take on this and how have you done in the past?
