Idea Validator

Before you spend months building something nobody wants, run it through this validator. It combines Hexa's Opportunity Memo framework with a Perceived Created Value scoring system that rates problems and solutions across price, quality, performance, and convenience. You answer questions about pain frequency, current alternatives, and market timing, then get a numerical score that tells you whether to build, refine, or kill the idea. The framework is opinionated about what makes problems worth solving (daily frequency beats monthly, critical beats nice-to-have) and pushes you to quantify improvement over existing solutions. It's structured validation that forces honesty before you write code.
