🚦 The Success Score Dashboard

Score TierThe VerdictYour Urgent Next Step
80 - 100Green Zone (Strong Validation)Launch. Build your MVP immediately. Don't overthink.
60 - 79Yellow Zone (Potential Winner)Refine. Fix the 1-2 major flaws identified in your report.
40 - 59Orange Zone (Pivot Needed)Narrow. Your niche is too broad or the pain is too low.
0 - 39Red Zone (High Failure Risk)Stop. Use this as a signal to move to your next idea.

🔬 How the Algorithm Works

Our AI doesn't "guess." It analyzes 10+ dimensions with specific weights:

CategoryWeightWhat We Check
Market Demand25%Search volume, Google Trends, and social intent.
Competition20%Market saturation and the presence of "Blue Oceans."
Revenue Potential20%Price points and recurring revenue (SaaS) opportunities.
Execution Risk20%Complexity to build and time-to-market.
Feasibility15%Capital required vs. expected early-stage growth.

📈 Can I Improve My Score?

Yes! Business ideas are fluid. You can often move from an "Orange" to a "Green" by making these strategic pivots:

❌ Lower Score (40-59)✅ Higher Score (80-100)
Broad Audience: "Marketing for everyone."Specific Niche: "Marketing for Dentist Offices."
One-Time Sale: High churn, low lifetime value.Recurring Model: Predictable monthly revenue.
Nice-to-Have: "I want to help people organize."Critical Pain: "I save businesses 20 hours of data entry."

Does a 100/100 Guarantee Success?

No. A score of 100/100 means the concept is flawless. But as the saying goes: "Execution eats strategy for breakfast." A 100/100 idea with bad execution will fail. An 80/100 idea with world-class execution can become a billion-dollar company.
