How it works
See the weighted rollup
Commitment evidence is weighted highest since it's the hardest signal to fake.
Find your weakest area
The scorecard flags exactly where to focus your next round of research.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from an up-front idea validator?
An idea validator scores a raw idea before you've done research. This scorecard is a post-research rollup — it measures how strong the evidence you've actually gathered is, after interviews, demand tests, and outreach.
Why weight commitment level the highest?
Anyone can say they like an idea; far fewer will sign an LOI, pre-order, or commit a pilot. That's the strongest, hardest-to-fake evidence of real demand.
What if I haven't done any demand testing yet?
Score that dimension low (1-2) — the tool will flag it as your weakest area and point you toward the click-through demand gauge or an LOI campaign next.
Should I rerun this after every research round?
Yes — it's meant to be a running rollup you update as you gather more evidence, not a one-time score.
