Brutally honest validation · v19.5 framework
95% of startup ideas
are dead on arrival.
Find out before you waste a year.
We test demand against real search numbers — how many people a month look for what you want to build. In parallel we read the open web: competitors, prices, free tools, regulators. Every claim that matters is backed by a source link. Ten detectors probe the idea from different angles. The verdict is blunt — no flattery.
● INPUT · describe your idea0 / ...
Private by default. After the verdict you choose: keep private, share a link (view-only, or view + comment), or publish to the board.
How it works
Three steps, a few minutes, and you get a straight verdict.
STEP 01
Describe your idea
Write 1-3 clear sentences. Add who it is for, where you will sell first, and how you might charge.
STEP 02
We run the ten killer-patterns
We check demand, competitors, free alternatives, platform risk, public sources, and whether people hurt enough to change how they already do things. Every serious claim needs evidence.
STEP 03
Brutal verdict with sources
You get NO-GO, WATCHLIST, TEST or GO, a score out of 100, the strict checks that capped the idea, and the first action to take.
The ten killers
Most ideas die from one of ten patterns. We check for all of them.
