Before we start…
A quick overview of what happens next and why it matters.
You’ll answer a short series of questions about your problem, solution, and complexity. These aren’t generic prompts—they are designed to surface hidden risks and scope inflation.
We use 20 years of shipping experience to give you an honest signal on risk, not optimism. Identify where teams typically overbuild or mis-sequence.
Your idea remains 100% yours. Submissions are never treated as IP. This tool exists to reduce waste, not extract concepts.
- An MVP validation score
- Key execution risks to watch for
- Plain-English feasibility check
Step 1: The Problem
Every great product starts with a painful problem. Be specific.
We ask this because technical complexity often hides in the details. A simple data problem allows for simple tech, while real-time coordination or heavy processing requires complex architectures.
High-pain problems justify higher technical risk. Low-pain problems require frictionless, low-complexity solutions.
Enterprise users often demand rigid security (SSO, Audit Logs) and legacy compatibility, whereas consumer apps prioritize extreme design polish and instant scalability.
Step 2: The Solution
How do you solve it differently? What’s your secret sauce?
The “how” dictates the stack. A mobile app, a web dashboard, and a chrome extension all have vastly different engineering costs and complexity profiles.
Every MVP has a “Critical Path”. This is the feature we cannot cut, no matter what.
Feature creep kills MVPs. We need to know the absolute “must-haves” to estimate the leanest possible build time.
Step 3: The Market
Who else is doing this? Why now?
If competitors are 10-year-old giants, you might need feature parity to compete. If they are spreadsheets, the engineering bar is significantly lower.
Asking users to install a new app is hard. Asking them to switch from Excel to SaaS is harder. This friction dictates usage risk.
If your differentiator is “AI magic”, that’s high technical risk. If it’s “better UX”, that’s high frontend effort. We need to know where to spend the engineering tokens.
Step 4: Execution
Ideas are cheap. Execution is everything.
Speed costs money. If you need it in 1 month, we have to cut scope aggressively. If you have 6 months, we can build more robustness and features.
This is a reality check to match the tech stack to your runway. We can’t build Netflix on a WordPress budget.
The “Owner” determines the long-term tech debt risk. A CTO ensures maintainability. A Marketing Manager prioritizes speed.
Takes ~5 minutes. No obligation.
