12 Dimensions of Validation
Each dimension answers a critical question about your idea — including the ones most founders never think to ask.
Problem Severity
Is this a real, painful problem? Are people complaining about it on Reddit, Quora, and Trustpilot? Do they actively search for solutions?
Market Demand
Are people actively searching for this? What do Google Trends, YouTube content volume, and community discussions tell us about demand?
Market Timing
Why now? Is this the right moment — is the market growing, are conditions aligned, and is the window open? Timing explains more startup success and failure than any other single factor.
Monetization Viability
Can you charge for this? Is the market used to paying, or is it a race to free?
Acquisition Feasibility
Can you actually reach and acquire customers at a sustainable cost? Distribution kills more startups than bad products.
Competitive Landscape
Who else is doing this? How much funding do they have? What do their customers love and hate about them?
Differentiation
Can this be meaningfully different? What gaps do competitor reviews reveal?
Pre-mortem
Assume this launched, got traction, and died at 18 months. What killed it? We map the 3–5 most likely failure modes before you build.
Hidden Assumptions
What implicit bets must be true for this idea to work — and how risky is each one? Most ideas die on an assumption nobody thought to check.
Regulatory & Legal Risk
Could compliance, licencing, or platform rules block this? We check data privacy, financial regulation, healthcare rules, and platform ToS exposure.
Critical Questions
What must you go answer before writing a line of code? Specific, actionable questions ordered by urgency — turns the report into a to-do list.
Founder Bias Check
Is your pitch language grounded in evidence, or does optimism substitute for data? We flag unsupported assertions and score how believable the framing is.
