# IdeaTwister documentation

One decision engine for two jobs. Founders use it to pressure-test a startup idea and turn it into ranked opportunities. Businesses use it to find their next growth move and get a plan to run it. The AI tools you already use are tuned to agree with you. IdeaTwister was built to do the opposite. It stress-tests what you give it, runs live research, and hands back a ranked, scored board of options as an interactive workspace in minutes. No setup, no API key, no subscription.
