I have used multiple idea validation tools in the past. Most of them are not really good, especially the free ones. Some tools only have paid plans, so I didn't use them.

But to really check how good they are, I use the idea of a failed startup.

I used Fast's idea of one-click checkouts in another idea validator tool, and the tool gave it a really high score, which is not a good sign.

Did the same here, and it gave a score of 38/100 and tagged it a high-risk business, which is a good sign.

And to my surprise, the tool also mentioned Fast as a failed startup, so I think your tool is good.

Bad thing is I can only try one idea in the free tier.

Yes, we have just built it and it is boot strapped. Starting slow so only 1 validation is open to public. But feel free to share your idea here and I will run it directly from backend and share the report here.

Thank you for your feedback though. I encourage you to run a good idea to really see the capability of this.
