How We Scored These Ideas

Our AI validation engine analyses each idea across six dimensions: market size, competitive intensity, revenue potential, technical difficulty, time-to-revenue, and founder-market fit signals. Ideas scoring above 70 are considered strong opportunities. Below 50 means the space is either saturated or fundamentally difficult to monetise. We run this process every quarter and update scores based on market shifts. We're adding 10 new ideas every month. Score your own idea →

Frequently Asked Questions

How are IdeaScore ratings calculated?
Each idea is scored across six dimensions: market size (25%), competitive intensity (20%), revenue potential (20%), technical execution difficulty (15%), time-to-first-revenue (10%), and founder-market fit signals (10%). The weighted average produces the final IdeaScore out of 100.
Can I score a variation of these ideas with my own twist?
Yes — that's exactly what the "Score your version →" button does. It pre-fills the idea name into our scoring engine and you can add your specific angle, target market, or business model. The AI re-evaluates the idea based on your description.
How often are these scores updated?
We refresh scores quarterly. When major market events occur (new competitor funding, regulatory changes, platform policy shifts), we update affected ideas out of cycle. The page header shows the last update date.
What does a score below 50 mean?
Ideas scoring below 50 face significant headwinds — usually very high competition from well-funded incumbents, small addressable markets, or structural difficulty in monetisation. This doesn't mean they're impossible, but you'd need a clear, defensible differentiation strategy to succeed.
Do you score ideas outside of SaaS?
Our engine handles any business model — marketplace, D2C, offline services, hardware + software, franchise, and more. Browse our other idea lists for hardware startups, marketplace ideas, and offline-first businesses for India.
