01 / Put it on paper
Specific beats polished. Who is it for, and what problem would it solve?
Need a starting point? Try an example:
We flag financial, health, and legal ideas without scoring or planning them. Why these need a different first step.
Usually 5 to 15 seconds. You can cancel at any time.
No AI needed
Use what you know today. Unknowns deserve a low score until you have evidence. Higher is better. This checklist stays in your browser.
For financial, health, or legal ideas, skip scoring and talk to a licensed professional or the relevant regulator first. What to do first.
5 = a specific person with a specific, frequent, painful problem they already spend time or money on.
1 = vague "people would like this".
5 = you can name where 20 likely buyers gather and reach them this week for free.
1 = buyers are hard to find or only reachable through paid ads or enterprise sales.
5 = a real test costs under US$20.
1 = needs inventory, licenses, hardware or over US$500.
5 = a meaningful yes/no signal is possible within 48 hours.
1 = needs months.
12 / 20: Sharpen first, then test
16 to 20: Test this weekend. 11 to 15: Sharpen first, then test. 4 to 10: Rethink before testing. Risk flags stay separate from the score.
From idea to evidence
A high score is not proof. Choose the assumption that could make the whole idea fall apart.
Talk about past behavior. Show a clear offer. Ask for a no-payment reservation, not a compliment.
Write your pass and stop thresholds first. Then continue, change direction, or put it down.
