What every report includes

Fifteen sections of evidence, not opinion.

Every report opens with a page-1 briefing card you can screenshot and act on. Then twelve sections of analysis. Then three appendix sections with every Reddit, HN, and web source we used, summarized inline with direct links. Every claim in the prose is sourced to a specific item.

Verdict, composite, the one thing that matters, plus three short lists: what to know, what to do, what to test. Screenshot-able. Actionable in 60 seconds.

Sample report

An idea we just killed.

Real report on the pitch "an AI dashboard and agent system for real estate agents in Dubai that automates the full sales pipeline." Verdict: RED. The briefing card distilled the killer constraint — 14 competitor signals on a free or near-free floor, willingness-to-pay scoring 1.0/10. Every claim sourced.

More samples

Two more verdicts. Both yellow — and that's the honest read.

Most ideas come back yellow because most markets are crowded. We don't cherry-pick a clean green to show off — when one earns it, we'll swap it in. Until then, here are two real yellows the pipeline produced this week, across very different domains.

Yellow · proceed with caveats

Self-cutting mattress for end-of-life patients

Genuine paying segment (hospice procurement, Medicare DME), but already crowded with named incumbents (Arjo FloJac, SonderCare, Immersus Airmersus). The briefing card flags FDA Class II clearance as the dominant constraint everything else flows from.

Yellow · proceed with caveats

SOC 2 compliance evidence collector for SaaS

Real paying segment (20-50 person SaaS preparing first audits, $499/mo target), but Drata, Vanta, Secureframe already dominate with comparable auto-collection from AWS/GitHub/Linear. The wedge has to be sharper than "we do it too" — the briefing card spells out exactly which incumbent to differentiate against and how.

How it works

Four steps. One coffee break.

  1. Type your idea in one sentenceBe specific about who it's for and what they do today. We charge $5.
  2. Confirm our reading of itTwo seconds after submit, we restate your pitch back as 2-4 sentences with the missing dimensions flagged (target customer, monetization, distribution). Tweak anything that feels off, or run it as-is.
  3. Watch the pipeline run200+ items collected from Reddit, Hacker News, and the web. A second LLM pass scores every item for relevance to your pitch. The strongest items get deep-fetched. Sections drafted, polished, and self-critiqued.
  4. Read the report in your browserUnder 15 minutes from submit. We email you a permanent link the moment it's ready. Page-1 briefing card, twelve narrative sections, evidence appendix with summarized sources — every claim cited inline.

Why this exists
Most founders spend three weekends building before realizing the idea was dead on arrival. $5 and the time it takes to make coffee buys you that weekend back. — the working hypothesis behind this product

FAQ

The honest answers.

Why should I trust your verdict?

You shouldn't take it on faith. Every claim in the report links to a source. If our reasoning is wrong, the evidence is right there for you to disagree with.

Can't I just ask ChatGPT?

You can. ChatGPT will tell you almost every idea is "promising" and confidently fabricate market sizing. Our reports cite real Reddit threads from this month, with usernames and timestamps. The difference is verifiability.

What if the report is shallow?

Reply to the delivery email and tell us. During the beta, feedback drives the prompt tuning — we read every reply and ship fixes within days. At launch, the same reply gets you a free re-run on a refined version of the pitch.

Who writes these?

Built by Viksit. The research and writing run on an automated pipeline — Reddit/HN/web scraping, LLM scoring, evidence summarization, then Sonnet drafts + a critic-revise loop on the weakest sections. I read every report before it goes out and feed corrections back into the prompts. The system improves with every customer.

Will you write a report on a regulated industry idea (medical, legal, finance)?

Yes, but with caveats noted up front. We won't give regulatory advice. We will tell you who's already operating in the space and what the typical path-to-launch looks like.

How is this different from BigIdeasDB / MonetScope / PainOnSocial?

Those are subscription tools you query yourself — you do the work and trust their AI. Here: I do the work, my pipeline produces a one-page briefing card + 15-section narrative with every claim sourced inline, then I read it before sending.
