How the AI Analyzes Your Idea
GetBuilo’s validation engine evaluates your idea across five weighted dimensions:- Market Demand — Is there a proven audience actively seeking a solution to this problem? The AI looks for signals like search volume, community discussions, and existing product categories.
- Competition Level — How crowded is the space? A competitive market signals demand, but an oversaturated one can make differentiation difficult. The AI calibrates this balance.
- Revenue Potential — Can this idea generate meaningful revenue at a realistic scale? The AI factors in typical pricing for the category, estimated market size, and conversion benchmarks.
- Founder-Market Fit — Based on the context you provide, does this idea align with a credible background, passion, or distribution advantage? Ideas with strong founder-market fit tend to survive early obstacles.
- Execution Complexity — How hard is this to actually build and launch? The AI flags ideas that require rare technical expertise, heavy regulatory compliance, or massive upfront capital as higher risk.
How Your Score Is Calculated
Your Idea Validation score runs on a 0–100 scale. Each of the five dimensions contributes a weighted sub-score, and they roll up into your overall grade. You’ll see the total score alongside a per-dimension breakdown so you know exactly which areas are pulling your score up or down. A score above 75 signals a well-validated concept ready to move forward. Scores between 50 and 74 indicate a viable idea that benefits from targeted refinement. Scores below 50 highlight fundamental gaps that are worth addressing before you proceed.What Your Output Looks Like
After running validation, you receive a structured report containing:- Score Card — Your overall score and the five sub-scores displayed visually.
- Strengths — A plain-English summary of what makes your idea compelling, backed by the signals the AI found.
- Risks — Specific risks the AI identified, such as a dominant incumbent, unclear monetization path, or a shrinking market.
- Improvement Suggestions — Concrete, actionable recommendations—like narrowing your target segment, repositioning against a specific competitor, or adjusting your pricing model—to raise your score.
How to Run Idea Validation
1
Open your project
Log in to GetBuilo and open the project you want to validate. If you haven’t created a project yet, click New Project, give it a name, and enter your initial idea description before continuing.
2
Navigate to Idea Validation
In the left sidebar of your project, click Idea Validation under the Founder Journey section. The module loads with your project’s idea description pre-filled.
3
Review and edit your idea description
Read through the pre-filled description and refine it if needed. The more specific and accurate your description, the more precise your validation results will be. Include the problem you’re solving, who you’re solving it for, and how you plan to make money.
4
Click 'Validate Idea'
Hit the Validate Idea button. The AI will take 20–40 seconds to process your idea against its research and reasoning models.
5
Review your score and breakdown
Once the report appears, start with your overall score, then work through each sub-score. Pay close attention to any dimension scoring below 60—these are your priority areas for improvement.
6
Use the suggestions to refine your idea
Read through the Improvement Suggestions section carefully. Pick one or two high-impact changes—such as narrowing your target audience or reframing your value proposition—and update your idea description accordingly.
7
Re-run validation to see your improved score
After updating your description, click Validate Idea again. Compare the new report to your previous run to see exactly how your changes affected each dimension. Repeat this loop until your score reflects an idea you’re confident in.
Each Idea Validation run costs 1 credit. Re-runs after editing your description also consume 1 credit each. You can view your remaining credits at any time in your account settings under Billing & Usage.
