What it does

Describe your startup idea, point it at a file, or run it bare and let it interview you, then get an honest scorecard back. Fourteen independent evaluators each grade one dimension of the pitch, from pain intensity to willingness to pay, and each runs its own live web research so the scores rest on evidence rather than vibes.

Before it scores anything it surfaces the assumptions hiding in your pitch and asks you to confirm them, so you are not grading a strawman. The result is one clear verdict, GO, PIVOT, or STOP, with the reasoning and sources behind every dimension laid out in a scorecard you can share. It runs in about ten minutes, which is faster than talking yourself into or out of the idea alone.

When to use it

  • You have a startup idea and want an honest read

    Describe the problem and solution and get a scorecard with one clear verdict: GO, PIVOT, or STOP.

  • You're not sure your idea will hold up

    14 evaluators score it on separate dimensions, each backed by its own live web research, so the verdict rests on evidence.

  • You need something to share with a cofounder or investor

    The output is a shareable scorecard showing each score and the reasoning behind it.

FAQ

Do I need a finished business plan?

No. tweak-evaluate works from a short pitch, even one sentence, then surfaces the hidden assumptions in it for you to confirm before scoring. You do not need a deck.

Where do the scores come from?

tweak-evaluate runs 14 independent evaluators, and each one does its own live web research on a single dimension. The scorecard reflects that combined research, not one model's off-the-cuff take.

Will it just tell me my idea is good?

No. tweak-evaluate gives a calibrated verdict of GO, PIVOT, or STOP, so it will tell you to stop or change course when the research does not back the idea. It is built to be honest.
