What problem does it solve?
Grills and validates business ideas using a structured, multi-phase framework to surface truth, reduce optimism bias, and save time by delivering a clear verdict and actionable next steps.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured, multi-phase evaluation: grilling, motivation, market research, differentiation, fitness, and verdict phases that build a shared understanding.
- Anti-sycophancy and guardrails: prioritizes honest assessment over encouragement, with explicit kill criteria and pre-mortems.
- Artifacts and checkpoints: maintains phase-specific artifacts (state, shared-understanding, idea-brief, research, differentiation, fit-analysis, verdict) to align with the user and track progress.
- Use cases: ideal for vetting new product ideas, OSS proposals, or research directions before significant time or money is spent.
Quick Start
Provide a concise one-sentence description of the idea, the target user, and the core problem, then choose quick or deep mode to start the grilling phase.
