Questions, answered.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?+
We use a structured 12-section investor framework, force the model to name real competitors with concrete reasoning, score honestly (most ideas get 30-65), and produce 3 specific pivots — not vague suggestions.
What does the report actually contain?+
Verdict + score, executive summary, TAM/SAM/SOM, problem severity, target persona, direct & indirect competitors, full SWOT, monetization with unit economics, MVP feature list & tech stack, GTM plan, ranked risks, why-not-worth list, and 3 alternative pivots.
Will it just tell me my idea is great?+
No. We tune the analyst to be brutally honest. Most ideas should — and will — score in the 30-65 range. Verdict 'build' only ships when the score is 70+.
Do you store my idea?+
