I built a tool to give brutal go/pivot/kill verdicts on startup ideas

Hey all,

I’ve been building side projects and helping friends validate ideas for a while, and I kept seeing the same pattern: months of work get wasted because the market simply doesn’t care.

So I built Verdict AI -> https://getverdictai.com , a small SaaS that helps founders test their startup ideas early. Here’s what it does:

  • Checks market demand

  • Scans competitors

  • Pulls real pain points from Reddit, HackerNews, and other communities

  • Gives a blunt go / pivot / kill verdict with actionable next steps

It’s basically a way to let the market reject your idea early, instead of after months of building.

I’m sharing this here because I’d love feedback from fellow founders:

Would you find a tool like this useful?

How do you usually validate your ideas early?

Curious to hear thoughts, patterns, and experiences — always learning
