The uncomfortable numbers

Most founders already know something feels risky. These confirm it.

42%

of startups fail because there was no market need.

CB Insights
18mo

The average failed startup spent eighteen months building the wrong product.

Most founders spoke to fewer than five potential customers before writing code.

First Round Capital

Five dimensions. One severity score.

Each dimension carries a specific weight in the Idea Severity score — the same weights used by the underlying AI engine in production.

Problem Clarity

25%

Is this a real, identifiable problem that a defined audience is actively experiencing?

Market Pull

25%

Is the market large enough and accessible? Does demand already exist or need manufacturing?

Urgency

20%

How acutely and frequently do people feel this pain today — not in 2 years?

Willingness to Pay

15%

Would they open their wallet right now, or is this a "nice to have" disguised as pain?

Competitive Gap

15%

Is there a defensible space you can own, or are you fighting entrenched incumbents head-on?

Idea Severity Score

All five dimensions combine into a single weighted Severity Score from 0–100, classified as Critical, Moderate, or Minor — with a go/no-go recommendation.

How Signal works

1

Describe your idea

Write one paragraph about what you're building. Signal automatically extracts the problem you're solving, your proposed solution, and how it works — no template required.

2

Dual analysis runs in parallel

Idea Analysis evaluates the concept itself — clarity, differentiation, and fit. Idea Severity Analysis scores five independent dimensions simultaneously with evidence and rationale. No single-threaded chatbot — structured parallel evaluation.

3

Receive your severity verdict

A Severity Score (0–100), a go/no-go classification (Critical / Moderate / Minor), and a ranked list of which dimensions to strengthen first — before you spend a day building.

This is what you'll receive

A structured, evidence-backed report — not a chatbot opinion.
