Questions to ask before you trust the verdict.

RoastIdea helps you make a better next decision. The market still gets the final vote.

Start by naming the customer, urgent problem, current alternative, and riskiest assumption. RoastIdea researches the market and competitors, then points to the smallest real-world test that could change the decision. Validation reduces uncertainty; real customer behavior supplies the proof.

No. RoastIdea can organize sourced evidence, find current competitors, expose contradictions, and suggest tests. Treat its Build, Revise, or Pass verdict as a research-backed hypothesis; real customer behavior is the proof.

No. Build means the available evidence is promising enough to justify the next test, not that success is guaranteed. Interviews, signups, preorders, usage, retention, and revenue are the signals that turn a hypothesis into market evidence.

When relevant, RoastIdea checks direct competitors, indirect substitutes, pricing, positioning, category shifts, and other current market facts. Sourced claims remain inspectable; anything unverified is labeled as an assumption.

Still want to build it after the roast?

Good. Build with evidence instead of excitement.
