AI Business Idea Validator
Tick only what is already true — what you have evidence for, not what you intend to do. The score tells you whether the idea is ready for a market-facing test. It is readiness to test, not proof of demand.
0/10 readiness signals
Too abstract to test yet
- Signals present
- 0/10
- Signals missing
- 10
- Next missing signal
- Named audience
- Audience Research Brief — write down who you can name and reach, then list 20 of them.
- Decide the threshold that would make you continue, change or stop.
- Named audience — A group you can actually list and reach, not 'small businesses'.
- Urgency — Something is costing them time, money or risk right now.
- Existing workaround — They already solve it badly — spreadsheet, agency, manual work.
- Promise clarity — One sentence a stranger repeats back correctly.
- Reachable channel — One place you can put the offer in front of them this week.
- Measurable next action — A single thing a person can do that you can count.
- Signal threshold — You decided in advance what counts as a yes.
- Small MVP scope — One job, one action, everything else cut or done by hand.
- First money ask — A price, deposit, pilot or invoice exists — not 'later'.
- Follow-up loop — Written before launch, not improvised after silence.
- Nothing marked yet.

How to use it
- Mark only signals that already exist in evidence.
- Read the first missing signal — that is the next piece of work.
- Turn it into the smallest artifact that could produce it.
- Run it at real people and come back with what happened.
- It does not say the idea will work — a high score only means the idea is testable.
- It does not measure demand. Only real people doing real things do that.
- It does not compare you to a market, a competitor or a benchmark.
- It does not replace talking to the people you intend to charge.
Frequently asked questions
That the idea is specific enough to run a meaningful test: you can name the audience, state the promise, reach people, count an action and ask for money. It says nothing about whether anyone will buy.
No. Tick only what is already true. A score built on intentions hides the exact gap the tool exists to find.
Turn it into one small artifact — a brief, a page, a list, a message sequence or a price — and put it in front of real people.
Hand the result to Ted
The missing signal becomes concrete work: a brief, a page, a list, a sequence or a price.
