Evidence coverage is not the same as opportunity quality. Marketplace listings, founder interviews and category benchmarks have selection bias. We use them to improve context, not to promise revenue or valuation.
04 / MONEY & ECONOMICS

Understand the path to profitability.

Start with a simple unit-economics model, then replace assumptions with real quotes, sales and delivery costs.

01Validate pricing

Ask potential buyers what outcome matters and what they would actually pay.

02Count every cost

Include tools, labor, marketing, refunds, taxes and ongoing support.

03Track cash flow

Separate revenue from cash received and actual take-home profit.

Financial scenarios coming with researched idea profiles.

We won't invent revenue projections or promise monthly earnings without an evidence-backed model.
