Short answers.

Is my idea private?

Yes. Verdicts and Pro Reports stay private to your account. They only go public if you explicitly publish them to the Ideas board, and you can unpublish at any time.

Why is it so mean?

Because polite feedback is what kills founders. We'd rather be sharp now than have you spend a year shipping the wrong wedge.

How is the score calculated?

A multi-factor rubric across desirability, defensibility, distribution, market timing, and how easy it is to actually run a 7-day test. The breakdown ships inside every report.

Do you sell my data?

No. We don't sell ideas, emails, or behavior. Your email is never shown on your public profile.

Can I post anonymously?

Yes. Turn on Post anonymously by default in Settings. Your username won't be attached to your public ideas.

Refunds?

Yes — see the refund policy linked in the footer.
