description	DimeADozen (dimeadozen.ai) platform help — an AI startup-idea validation report generator for first-time founders, indie hackers, and makers, sold as a one-time purchase you keep forever (no subscription, no expiring credits): a free 4-dimension idea score, then a paid multi-section or 200+ page build-or-don't-build report with a named competitor set, unit-economics/retention math, and a marketed 800+ source citations. Use when running an idea through DimeADozen, interpreting its idea score or report, deciding if the paid Entrepreneur report is worth it, sanity-checking whether its citations and competitor benchmarks fit your niche, understanding the one-time pricing vs credit/subscription rivals, or asking whether it has an API to export reports (public UI-only; API is Enterprise/custom only). Do NOT use for the validate-before-building method or comparing validators across the market (use /sales-idea-validation), or building the smoke-test landing page (use /sales-funnel).

DimeADozen Platform Help

DimeADozen (dimeadozen.ai) is an AI startup-idea validation report generator. You paste an idea and get a free 4-dimension idea score (Market / Validation / Execution / Differentiation), then can buy a keep-forever report — a Starter (7 sections + 3 comparable companies) or a 200+ page Entrepreneur report with a named competitor set, unit-economics/retention math, a risk register, and a clear build-or-don't-build verdict. Its differentiators vs sibling validators are the one-time purchase model (no subscription, credits never expire) and a marketed 800+ URL citations — though that citation claim and its competitor benchmarks are disputed (see Gotchas). It's a UI web app: there's no public API — API access exists only on the custom Enterprise tier. A report is an LLM opinion, not demand.

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.

Ask only what you can't infer:

1. What do you want from DimeADozen?
   • A) Run an idea through the free idea score and interpret the 4 dimensions
   • B) Decide whether the paid Starter vs Entrepreneur report is worth buying
   • C) Interpret a report you already bought (comp-set, unit economics, the verdict)
   • D) Understand the one-time pricing (vs credit/subscription rivals) or the refund guarantee
   • E) Export / automate reports, or wire it into your stack (API reality)
2. What's the real question — "is THIS idea worth building (go/no-go)?" or "how do I use DimeADozen?" If it's the decision itself, that's /sales-idea-validation (a report is not demand) — route in Step 2.

Skip-ahead: if the user wants the validate-before-building method or to compare validators across the market, that's a /sales-idea-validation question — route immediately.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly
