   Supplied market notes, competitor material, customer interviews and financial assumptions

2. 1

   Confirm the buyer's problem and scope

3. 2

   Collect supplied market notes

4. 3

   Competitor material

   Customer interviews and financial assumptions

6. 5

   Then follow this sequence: 1

7. Out
   Finish with

   Reviewed validation report with source-linked findings, risk register and decision recommendation

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. Market claims require cited sources; final investment and strategy decisions remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Idea intake and evidence library, Editable validation workspace, Review and decision pack. Use a thumbnail gallery for projects, a large central report canvas, and a right-hand panel for sources, assumptions and comments. Let users compare ideas side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant finding. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed validation report with source-linked findings, risk register and decision recommendation visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, source versions, team 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

Buyer-owned market notes, authorized interviews and permitted research sources. Cloud document storage, spreadsheet import/export and reporting 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.

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.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Day 1

   Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

2. 2

   MVP

   5 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: capture the idea, target market and success criteria; generate a structured validation report from supplied evidence; assess market demand, competitors and trends. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

3. 3

   Paid pilot

   6 days

   Accounts, roles, review states, audit trail and the first integration, hardened for two to three paying pilot customers.

4. 4

   Full product

   2 weeks

   Self-serve onboarding, billing, monitoring and the wider integration set.

5. 5

   Run and improve

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

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.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will founders, product managers and strategy teams validating a business idea before committing budget use it to solve "idea validation is scattered across rented tools, so market evidence, risk notes, personas and pitch material live in separate reports that cannot be compared or defended"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted validation reports per analyst hour and corrections after review.
4. Measure, then decide. Track accepted validation reports per analyst hour and corrections after review; 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 market segment and one report template; final investment and strategy decisions remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first three task modules: capture the idea, target market and success criteria; generate a structured validation report from supplied evidence; assess market demand, competitors and trends. 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 validation report. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One market segment and one report template; final investment and strategy decisions remain human.

What the build depends on. Source upload and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity strategy work requires specialist review. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One market segment and one report template; final investment and strategy decisions remain human.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined validation package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex data integration or investor-pack work separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed validation report. 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 the time and rework needed to turn a raw business idea into a defensible, evidence-linked validation report. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed validation report using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Founders, product managers and strategy teams professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample validation report from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted validation reports per analyst hour and corrections after review and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five founders, product managers and strategy teams validating a business idea before committing budget and inspect a recent example of scattered validation evidence and undefendable reports.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the first three task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure accepted validation reports per analyst hour and corrections after review, 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: Accepted validation reports per analyst hour and corrections after review. 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

Accepted validation reports per analyst hour and corrections after review; 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 validation report. 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 report structures, source-linked evidence patterns and reviewer corrections, together with reliable delivery for a narrow strategy niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for founders, product managers and strategy teams validating a business idea before committing budget. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

StarterBuild, Dime A Dozen, IdeaApe, Checkmyidea-IA, Checkmyidea, VenturusAI, Prelaunch AI Idea Validator, Noah Insights, FlowKitten and Spective. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted validation reports per analyst hour and corrections after review. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Generation attempts, 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 validation report. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve source attribution, quotation accuracy and usage permissions. Named owners approve substantive findings and external sharing. One market segment and one report template; final investment and strategy decisions remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
