Illustrative AI scoreFree verdict

The submitted idea: “An AI app that helps small businesses with everything.”

42

/ 100

Probably bad

Useful because it points at the buyer, urgency, and demand gaps before you build the wrong version.

01 · Weak spots

Buyer is too vague

“Small businesses” is a market, not a buyer.

Urgency is unproven

The pitch does not name a costly problem or a buying trigger.

Distribution is unspecified

The pitch does not identify a way to reach the first buyers.

Pro Report

$19One time

A report built around your idea: the buyer to focus on, a sharper offer, the first demand test, and the evidence to look for before building.

Sample: HVAC missed-call service · 68/100Confidence: Medium

Pain 18/22
Missed emergency calls imply measurable loss; frequency is still assumed.

Willingness to Pay 14/22
A named payer and price test, but no commitment yet.

PROVE THIS: Ask 15 HVAC owners about last month’s missed calls, then request three paid pilot conversations before building integrations.

Kill criterion: no budget signal after 15 exact-buyer calls.
