How to Evaluate an Idea

Key Metrics to Check:

  • AI Score (0-100): Higher = better market fit, feasibility, and demand
  • TAM/SAM Analysis: Is the European market large enough?
  • Competitor Count: 3 competitors = validated market. 0 = risky or unproven
  • Risk Analysis: What challenges does AI predict?
  • Domain Availability: Are suggested domains actually available?

Red Flags to Watch:

  • Score below 50/100 without clear reasoning
  • Vague market analysis (e.g., "huge potential")
  • No clear revenue model mentioned
  • Competitors listed are not actually related
  • Risk analysis is unrealistic or missing major issues

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip:

Check the "views count." High views with no sale = idea is intriguing but may have hidden challenges. Low views on a great idea = potential hidden gem.
