AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One defined venture stage and documented scoring model; final investment judgments and pitch claims remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Brief and assumption intake, Editable validation workspace, Review and pitch pack. Use a project gallery, a central canvas for assumptions, evidence and financial inputs, and a right-hand panel for sources, feedback and comments. Let users compare assumption versions side by side. Display draft, under review and validated states. Provide a reviewer link with comments anchored to the relevant assumption. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed assumption register linked to pitch materials visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Project ownership, source versions, reviewer comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, export history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Founder-owned documents, authorized market research and permitted financial sources. Cloud storage, spreadsheet import/export and publishing destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will founders, venture teams and investment analysts validating business ideas before committing capital use it to solve "business ideas are pitched and funded on untested assumptions, scattered research and rehearsed answers that do not survive investor scrutiny"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Assumptions retired per diligence hour and pitch questions answered from evidence.
- Measure, then decide. Track assumptions retired per diligence hour and pitch questions answered from evidence; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One defined venture stage and documented scoring model; final investment judgments and pitch claims remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: generate a structured business plan from a short brief; identify critical assumptions that could change the outcome. Support the remaining modules with operator review. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around the reviewed assumption register linked to pitch materials. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One defined venture stage and documented scoring model; final investment judgments and pitch claims remain human.
What the build depends on. Document upload and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity validation requires qualified financial and domain review. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One defined venture stage and documented scoring model; final investment judgments and pitch claims remain human.

Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined venture package. Offer a monthly validation allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex portfolio or multi-venture work separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed assumption register linked to pitch materials. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce wasted diligence cycles by testing critical assumptions before capital is committed. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed assumption register linked to pitch materials using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Founders, venture teams and investment analysts professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample assumption register linked to pitch materials from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of assumptions retired per diligence hour and pitch questions answered from evidence and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five founders, venture teams and investment analysts validating business ideas before committing capital and inspect a recent example of business ideas pitched and funded on untested assumptions, scattered research and rehearsed answers that do not survive investor scrutiny.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure assumptions retired per diligence hour and pitch questions answered from evidence, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Assumptions retired per diligence hour and pitch questions answered from evidence. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Assumptions retired per diligence hour and pitch questions answered from evidence; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs a reviewed assumption register linked to pitch materials. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved scoring models, validation cases and reviewer corrections, together with reliable delivery for a narrow venture niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for founders, venture teams and investment analysts validating business ideas before committing capital. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
Impossibly Dope Innovations, Validea, Frederick AI and SharkTank AI, plus spreadsheets, consultants and generic writing tools. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on assumptions retired per diligence hour and pitch questions answered from evidence. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Generation attempts, research and data processing, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source material. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of the reviewed assumption register linked to pitch materials. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve source attribution, financial accuracy and usage permissions. Named reviewers approve substantive assumptions and pitch claims. One defined venture stage and documented scoring model; final investment judgments and pitch claims remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
