How your profile threads through the pipeline

We don’t collect variables and discard them. Your profile drives evaluation gates, caps scores, and shapes briefs. Click any block to view its configuration below.

Personalized fit filters, blocking generic strategy reports.
Reality Fit vs Hype

Generic advice ignores who you are.

Other tools grade startup ideas in a vacuum. But a great idea for a funded engineering team is a death trap for a solo, semi-technical founder with 15 hours a week. We align validation to your parameters.

Strict Calibration

Calibrated on three
fit vectors.

Our validation model uses weekly bandwidth, capital budget, revenue target, time horizons, and technical skills to score the best strategic opportunity for your situation.

Pillar 1

Resources & Timeline

33%

Weekly Hours & Capital

Caps out marketplace or enterprise motions if capital and hours are too low.

E.g. Capital Budget
Pillar 2

Capabilities & Risk

66%

Skills & Risk Tolerance

Adjusts target distributions and feasibility metrics depending on non-technical limitations.

E.g. Technical Skill
Pillar 3

Founder-Fit Shield

100%

Compounded Alignment

Renders a composite shield score (0-4) so you can sort recommendations by match strength.

Evaluating metrics for GOALS fitment

Configure these constraints to see how the engine shifts and restricts recommended scores.

Goal Input

Revenue Goal

How big the business needs to get for it to be worth your time.

Calibrate Value
Engine logic / caps

Score caps shift. A $20/mo consumer SaaS that needs 50,000 paying users is fine for a $50k/yr goal and structurally broken for a $1M/yr one. The engine refuses to rate directions higher than their math allows.

Goal Input

Time Horizon

How soon you need to see the first dollar.

Calibrate Value
Engine logic / caps

Directions whose typical time-to-first-dollar is much longer than your horizon get their revenue-speed score capped. A 90-day enterprise sales cycle does not earn a high score when you need revenue in 30 days.
