From Idea to Validated Business, Faster
Idea Validator
Your idea's validation score and AI analysis will appear here.
Every founder thinks their idea is brilliant. But how do you objectively assess its potential before you invest months of your life and thousands of dollars? Our Free AI Idea Validation Score Tool provides a structured framework to score your idea and gives you AI-powered feedback, acting as your first-pass sanity check.
What is the Idea Validation Tool?
This tool guides you through a simplified version of a venture capitalist's evaluation process. You describe your idea, target market, and the problem you're solving. The tool then uses Google's Gemini AI to analyze your inputs, provide a validation score, and—most importantly—give you a qualitative analysis of your idea's potential strengths, weaknesses, and recommended next steps.
How It Works: An AI Venture Partner
We've designed the tool's AI prompt to think like an experienced early-stage investor. Here's the process:
- Structured Input: You provide concise information on the three pillars of any great startup: the Problem, the Target Market, and your proposed Solution.
- AI Analysis & Scoring: The Gemini model analyzes your inputs. It assesses the perceived severity of the problem, the potential size and accessibility of the market, and the clarity and feasibility of the solution. It then synthesizes this into a single "Validation Potential" score.
- Qualitative Feedback: This is where the real value lies. The AI generates a report that includes:
- Strengths: What aspects of your idea are most compelling? (e.g., "addresses a clear, high-pain problem").
- Weaknesses & Risks: What are the biggest hurdles you'll face? (e.g., "crowded market," "unclear differentiation").
- Actionable Next Steps: What is the single most important thing you should do next to de-risk the idea? (e.g., "Interview 20 potential customers," "Build a simple landing page to test demand").
This process moves you from a vague idea to a clear, actionable plan for validation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the validation score calculated?
Our AI analyzes your idea across multiple dimensions including market size, problem severity, solution feasibility, competitive landscape, and execution complexity to generate a comprehensive score from 1-100.
What makes a good validation score?
Scores above 70 indicate strong potential, 50-70 suggest moderate potential with areas for improvement, and below 50 indicate significant challenges that need addressing before proceeding.
Should I only pursue high-scoring ideas?
Not necessarily. A lower score often highlights specific areas for improvement rather than dismissing the idea entirely. Use the feedback to refine your concept and approach.
How detailed should my problem description be?
Be specific about who experiences the problem, how often, what current solutions exist, and why they're inadequate. The more context you provide, the more accurate the analysis will be.
Can I validate B2B and B2C ideas equally well?
Yes, our tool is designed to analyze both B2B and B2C concepts. Just be clear about your target market and business model in your descriptions.
What should I do after getting my validation score?
Focus on the "Next Steps" recommendations provided. Typically this involves customer interviews, market research, prototype development, or competitive analysis based on your specific situation.
