    How We Validate Ideas

    A transparent, five-step methodology combining AI analysis with real-world data

    STEP 1

    Real-Time Data Aggregation

    We collect data from 50+ authoritative sources including market research databases, industry reports, government statistics, and real-time web crawling.

    Market research databases (IBISWorld, Statista, Gartner)
    Financial data providers (Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance)
    Patent databases and regulatory filings
    Social media sentiment analysis (Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn)
    Competitor website analysis and SEO data
    STEP 2

    Multi-Model AI Ensemble

    We use a combination of Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4 in parallel to analyze business ideas. This multi-model approach reduces bias and improves accuracy.

    Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Market trend analysis and competitive landscape
    GPT-4: Financial projections and risk assessment
    Custom ML models: Success probability scoring (trained on 365+ launches)
    Ensemble voting: Final scores based on weighted model agreement
    Confidence intervals: Transparency on prediction certainty
    STEP 3

    50+ Validation Criteria

    Every business idea is analyzed across 50+ specific criteria tailored to the industry, business model, and target market.

    Market criteria: TAM/SAM/SOM, growth rate, saturation level
    Competitive criteria: Number of competitors, market share, differentiation
    Financial criteria: Unit economics, CAC, LTV, burn rate feasibility
    Execution criteria: Team capabilities, resource requirements, timeline
    Risk criteria: Regulatory barriers, technology risks, market timing
    STEP 4

    Historical Validation

    We continuously validate our predictions against real-world outcomes by following up with users 6 and 12 months after validation.

    12-month survival tracking: 89% of ideas scoring 75+ are still operating
    Revenue milestone tracking: 67% of high-scoring ideas reach $10K MRR
    Pivot analysis: 43% of low-scoring ideas pivot based on our recommendations
    Model retraining: Weekly updates based on new outcome data
    Accuracy monitoring: Real-time dashboards track prediction vs actual
    STEP 5
