FREE 5-MINUTE SCORECARD
IS YOUR IDEA
WORTH BUILDING?
Answer 8 questions and get a score out of 16 that tells you whether to build, gather more proof, or wait. Find out before you spend your money or your weekends on it.
SCARED OF BUILDING SOMETHING NOBODY WANTS?
That's a reasonable fear. Most people with good ideas never build them, and most who do find out too late that nobody wanted it. This scorecard closes that gap in ten minutes, so you decide with evidence instead of hope.
8
HONEST QUESTIONS
Grouped into the problem, the demand, and the evidence behind your idea, each with a hint on what counts as proof.
16
POINT SCORE
Circle 0, 1 or 2 on each question and add them up. Your total puts your idea in one of three clear bands.
5
MINUTES, START TO FINISH
Circle your scores. You'll know your next move before your coffee gets cold.
