Idea Check

Examine the claims and evidence gaps in a pre-seed business case before investor conversations.

$149USD · planned one-time price
  • Research and source context
  • Decision summary and material uncertainties
  • Relevant economic assumptions
  • Practical validation actions

A useful hold or no-go is a completed result when its reasoning and required outputs are delivered. Missing files or a failed run are not a completed assessment.

THE RESULT

Four useful parts.
Five portable files.

The minimum assessment result is four readable Markdown documents plus economic data in JSON. The public example illustrates the reasoning; it is not a live researched delivery or proof of quality.

A decision to examine

A business-direction recommendation, its reasons, material uncertainty, and what would change it.

  • assessment/decision.md

Research you can inspect

Customer and alternative research with source context, assumptions, and limitations kept visible.

  • assessment/research.md

The next evidence to collect

One to three proposed tests with the assumption at risk, method, support and contradiction criteria, estimated effort, and limitations. These are proposals to review, not completed customer research.

  • assessment/validation.md

Economics with visible inputs

Appropriate calculations and their assumptions, or explicit missing inputs. A readable explanation and structured data; no funding prediction.

  • assessment/economics.md
  • assessment/economics.json

In a saved assessment, you can read and download available files or export a ZIP with an offline reader. Saved narrative edits can be included as labeled copies alongside their generated originals. Manual wording edits use no allowance; an eligible AI section rewrite uses one allowance on validated proposal delivery after scope review. Read about wording revisions and exports or review section rewrite terms. New evidence and revised inputs can require a new reviewed assessment; a saved scenario is not new research. Eligible requested analysis updates retain the existing research and use one assessment allowance after explicit scope review. Review update scope and allowance terms.

A fit when you need to…

  • Separate evidence from assumptions in the business case behind a pre-seed raise.
  • Examine the proposed customer, current alternatives, and economic inputs.
  • Choose the next evidence to collect before committing to a direction.

Support for a particular business model, market, or regulated sector must be confirmed before work starts. The fictional B2B example does not establish universal coverage.

Outside this assessment

Does not include a pitch deck, investor introductions, fundraising execution, a website, or empirical AI testing.

It also excludes investor matching, legal or investment advice, and conducting customer interviews or experiments. It does not certify investor readiness, provide investor approval, or predict whether you will raise funding.

YOUR PART

Bring what you know.
Keep the gaps visible.

You supply and check the starting facts. We have not measured a typical preparation or delivery time, so no turnaround promise is offered.

  1. Describe the problem, your proposed solution, and who would use or pay for it.
  2. Keep the decision question specific. Add your initial market and capital if known; unknowns can stay unknown.
  3. Add relevant text notes if useful. Review and correct your inputs before saving or authorizing research.

Today: draft and review

Write your brief, correct it, and keep a download. Account saving depends on service availability. Draft review displays your stated inputs; it is not research.

Draft your idea

Before research or payment

Eligible account access and explicit research scope are required. Before any future purchase, you must see the exact deliverables, supported question, price and applicable charges, corrections, expected delivery, access period, support, and non-delivery/refund terms.
