Is your micro-SaaS worth building?

Answer a structured set of questions about the pain, your customer, pricing and feasibility, then compare the pattern against ideas that already succeeded or failed. That is what this tool automates: 10 questions, scored by a fixed methodology across 8 axes, with automatic red-flag detection — in minutes instead of weeks of guessing.

On this scale, 80+ is a Go, 40–79 is Caution, and below 40 is a No-Go. For context, the industry average sits around 78 across 276,000+ founder ideas analyzed (ValidatorAI Founder Intent Index) — so a score meaningfully above that average signals a stronger-than-typical idea, not just an average one.

A typical full-cycle build runs $3,000–$15,000 for a working MVP in about 4 weeks. But cost is only half the picture: across 1,000+ products, 70% stay under $1,000 MRR and the median profitable product sits near $4,200 MRR (RockingWeb) — so validate the market before you spend the build budget.

Four patterns predict failure often enough to gate a score automatically: an entrenched monopoly competitor, no paying analogues (unproven demand), a perceived benefit below the price you would charge, and low usage frequency (a product needed only a few times a year). Two or more of these together tends to force a No-Go verdict outright.

The score comes from a fixed, deterministic methodology — the same answers always produce the same score, and every result traces back to explicit rules, not a language model improvising an opinion. There is no free-form AI judgment to hallucinate a verdict; the paid report adds live market research on top of that same deterministic base score.

Yes. The 0–100 score and GO / CAUTION / NO-GO verdict are free, with no signup required — just answer the 10 questions. If you want the full picture, a $14 report re-scores the idea after live market research and adds competitors, benchmarks, a go-to-market plan and a build estimate.

Your idea is never published or resold: the public Trends page shows only anonymous percentages, never idea text. The AI reads your answers solely to compute your score and report — it is not trained on them. There is no signup for the free score, data travels encrypted, and you can request full deletion at any time. The operator is a named, verified person (see Contact), not an anonymous form.

Your ten answers are turned into a score by a fixed methodology, not by a language model. The same answers always produce the same number, because it comes from explicit weighted rules. AI only reads your answers to classify them and, for the paid report, runs live market research.

On this scale, 80 and above is a GO — the idea is worth building. 40–79 is a CAUTION: there is something real here, but specific weaknesses need fixing first. Below 40 is a NO-GO. Six automatic red flags — no paying alternatives, an entrenched platform monopoly, benefit below price, rare usage, a pain never verified with real people, and a build this team cannot realistically ship — can cut the score on their own.

Every idea is scored across eight weighted axes: pain, frequency, customer focus, geo focus, benefit vs price, feasibility, launch type and market. Each axis carries a different weight, and axes without data are excluded with their weight redistributed, so the total always adds up to 100.
