Friends will tell you the idea is great. This tool won't just do that. Describe your startup idea and what you've learned so far, and get a scorecard, the three biggest risks, customer interview questions, and cheap experiments that give you a real answer.

What makes an idea worth pursuing

A painful, frequent problem, customers who already spend money or time on it, a way to reach them cheaply, and an MVP you can build with what you have. The scorecard rates each one so you can see which is weakest.

Ask about behavior, not opinions

'Would you use this?' gets polite yeses. 'When did this last happen, and what did you do?' gets the truth. The interview questions are written the second way.

Test before you build

A landing page with a price, a pre-sale, or a manual version of the service can answer the big question in a week. Once an idea passes, map it with the Lean Canvas Generator and plan the launch with the Go-to-Market Strategy Generator.

Questions

How do I validate a startup idea?

Talk to potential customers about the problem, then run a small test that asks for real commitment - a sign-up, a deposit or a pre-order - before building the full product.

Will it tell me if my idea is bad?

It gives a direct verdict and names the biggest risks, then suggests a sharper version rather than just a thumbs down.

Can it predict if my startup will succeed?

No tool can. It helps you find the weak spots early and test them cheaply.
