How Our AI Analyzes Your Business
We believe in radical transparency. Here's exactly how our AI validates your business idea, what models we use, and why it's more than just ChatGPT with a business prompt.
How AI Business Validation Works: Our Proprietary Methodology
Unlike generic AI chatbots that give surface-level advice, our system uses GPT-4 (OpenAI's most advanced model) with custom business validation frameworks developed by startup advisors and financial analysts. We combine multiple AI capabilities—natural language processing, financial modeling, market analysis, and risk assessment—into a single integrated system.
The AI doesn't just respond to your questions. It applies proven business frameworks like TAM/SAM/SOM market sizing, Porter's 5 Forces competitive analysis, unit economics validation, and discounted cash flow modeling. It cross-references your answers against industry benchmarks from thousands of real businesses to validate assumptions and flag unrealistic projections.
The entire process takes under 10 minutes from start to finish, delivering a 35+ page business plan that would typically cost $5,000-$10,000 from a traditional consultant and take 2-3 weeks to produce.
The 4-Step Validation Process
Step 1: Business Input Collection
5 minutesYou answer 9-13 strategically designed questions that capture the essential elements of your business model. Each question is engineered to extract data that feeds into specific analysis algorithms.
Core Questions:
- • Target Customer (TAM sizing)
- • Problem & Solution (PMF validation)
- • Differentiation (Competitive moat)
- • Revenue Model (Unit economics)
- • Current Stage (Projection baseline)
- • Competition (Porter's 5 Forces)
Conditional Questions:
- • Business Type (Cost structure)
- • Production Approach (Manufacturing)
- • Unit Economics (If applicable)
- • Regulatory Requirements (Compliance)
Step 2: Multi-Model AI Analysis
2-3 minutesYour responses trigger a sophisticated analysis pipeline that leverages multiple AI capabilities working in parallel.
Our AI Stack (Behind the Scenes):
- • GPT-4 for analysis
- • Custom business validation prompts
- • Multi-step reasoning chains
- • Industry benchmark databases

Transparency Note: We do NOT access proprietary market databases or insider information. The AI works with publicly available data—the same sources you could research manually, just processed 100x faster using proven business frameworks.
Step 3: 8-Dimensional Evaluation
Your business is scored across 8 critical dimensions using weighted algorithms. This isn't a simple average—each dimension contributes to your final viability score based on proven predictors of startup success.
Market Opportunity
TAM/SAM/SOM sizing, market growth rate, accessibility
Problem-Solution Fit
Pain point validation, solution clarity, customer willingness to pay
Competitive Positioning
Differentiation strength, competitive moat, barriers to entry
Revenue Model Viability
Pricing validation, unit economics, monetization strategy
Financial Projections
Realistic growth assumptions, burn rate, path to profitability
Go-to-Market Strategy

- ✓ $49 vs $5,000+
- ✓ Same frameworks & data
- ✓ Objective (no consultant bias)

Quality & Accuracy
How Accurate Is the AI?
The AI excels at pattern recognition and data analysis—like identifying unrealistic projections, validating pricing against industry norms, or flagging broken unit economics. Financial projections are conservative estimates based on comparable businesses in your industry, not aspirational hockey sticks.
However, the AI is NOT a replacement for human expertise in complex situations. It provides an expert second opinion to validate your thinking and catch blind spots—not a crystal ball that predicts the future.
✅ Best Used For:
- • Validating business model assumptions
- • Identifying red flags early
- • Creating first-draft business plans
- • Accelerator applications
- • Early-stage investor conversations
- • Comparing multiple business ideas
⚠️ Limitations:
- • Cannot replace industry expertise
- • Limited to publicly available data
- • Generic for highly niche markets
- • Best for Series A, not Series C+ fundraising
- • Recommends human review for complex scenarios
When to Hire a Consultant: If you're raising $1M+, entering a highly regulated industry (pharma, aerospace), or need custom market research in an emerging category, use our AI as your "Version 1.0" and have a human expert customize it. The $49 investment will still save your consultant weeks of baseline research.

Common Questions
Can I trust AI for something as important as my business?
Think of it as a data-driven second opinion, not a replacement for your judgment. The AI validates your assumptions against thousands of real businesses and flags potential issues. Many successful founders use it to pressure-test ideas before committing resources.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT to write a business plan?
ChatGPT responds conversationally but doesn't systematically apply business frameworks or validate against industry benchmarks. Our AI uses structured analysis modules (market sizing, financial modeling, competitive analysis) with real data—not just text generation.
What if my business idea is too unique or innovative?
Novel ideas are our specialty! The AI looks for analogous business models and market patterns. For example, if you're building "Uber for dog walking," it analyzes marketplace dynamics, gig economy unit economics, and local service businesses—even if your exact idea is new.
