Classify an idea
classify_ideaClassify a product or business idea with fixed rules (no AI model): one of 10 product types and 9 buyer types with the words that matched, a 0 to 100 risk score on each of 10 assumptions (problem, buyer access, willingness to pay, solution fit, feasibility, retention, supply, regulatory, unit economics, operator capacity) with every rule that moved each score, the riskiest assumption written as a sentence a test can prove wrong, red flags, the stage of the Idea to Product method it is in, the build rules for its type, and the cheapest validation test for this week with pass and kill lines. Evidence already gathered (interviews, signups, deposits, payments) lowers risk along a fixed evidence ladder. The same input always gives the same answer.
