IdeaCheck (ideacheck.ai) platform help — an AI startup-idea validation tool that turns one idea description into a saved evidence report across seven modules (market opportunity, competitive landscape, target-audience profiling, financial viability, risk, industry context, scenario modeling), exportable to PDF, Word, and Excel. Its edge in the crowded validator field is pricing: one credit = one full report offered three ways at once — pay-per-report, a credit pack whose credits never expire, and a low monthly subscription — same complete report on every plan (no feature gating). Use when running an idea through IdeaCheck, interpreting its report or modules, choosing between its pay-per-report vs never-expire pack vs monthly plans, exporting reports, or asking whether it has an API. UI-only — no public API, webhooks, or Zapier. Do NOT use for the tool-agnostic validate-before-building method or comparing validators (use /sales-idea-validation), or building the smoke-test landing page (use /sales-funnel).

IdeaCheck Platform Help
IdeaCheck (ideacheck.ai) is an AI startup-idea validation tool. You describe your business idea,
spend one credit to run the full analysis pipeline, and get a saved evidence report across
seven modules (market opportunity, competitive landscape, target-audience profiling, financial
viability/unit economics, risk assessment, industry context, scenario modeling), exportable to
PDF, Word, and Excel. Its distinguishing trait in a crowded field is pricing flexibility: the
same complete report is sold three ways at once — pay-per-report (Try Once), a credit 5-pack
whose credits never expire, and a low monthly Starter subscription — with no feature gating
between plans (only quantity and expiry differ). It's a fast structured second opinion and document
generator — not a substitute for real demand validation — and it has no public API (UI tool).
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask only what you can't infer:
What do you want from IdeaCheck?
A) Run an idea through it and interpret the report / a specific module
B) Understand the pricing — which of the three models (pay-per-report, never-expire pack, monthly) fits how you'll use it
C) Get the report out (PDF / Word / Excel export)
D) Automate or export programmatically (API reality)
What's the real question — "is this idea worth building?" or "how do I use this tool?" If it's
the go/no-go decision, that's /sales-idea-validation (a report is not demand) — route in Step 2.
Will you re-validate the same idea multiple times as it pivots? This decides which pricing model
is actually cheapest — cover it in Step 4.
Skip-ahead: if the user wants the validate-before-building method or to compare validators across the
market, route to /sales-idea-validation immediately.
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the user's question is about…
Route to
The validate-before-building method, or the go/no-go decision itself
/sales-idea-validation {question}
Comparing IdeaCheck against other validators (Informly, IdeaProof, Validator AI, DimeADozen…)
/sales-idea-validation {question}
Building the smoke-test / fake-door landing page to test real demand
/sales-funnel {question}
Growing a pre-launch waitlist / capturing real demand
/sales-audience-growth {question}
Turning the report's marketing/audience sections into a real content program
/sales-content {question}
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-idea-validation {original question}"
Otherwise, answer IdeaCheck-specific questions using Step 3.
Step 3 — IdeaCheck platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — the seven modules and what each
produces, the credit system (one credit = one full report), the three co-existing pricing models and
which is cheapest for how you'll use it, the PDF/Word/Excel export options, why an AI report reads
optimistic, and the no-public-API automation reality.
Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Treat the report and any score as a directional gut check, not demand. The report is an LLM
opinion generated from a short idea description — its market sizing, financials, and competitor
set are AI estimates, not measured demand. Tell the user to keep the structured outputs
(competitor/positioning, target-audience profiles, risks, unit-economics scaffold) to sharpen the
pitch, and take the go/no-go from real behavior — a smoke test or pre-sale — not from the report.
Route the real test to /sales-idea-validation.
Pick the pricing model by your re-run count, not the sticker price. IdeaCheck sells the same
report three ways: Try Once (pay-per-report), a 5-pack whose credits never expire, and a
monthly Starter (a batch of credits that expire at period end). The trap: a founder
re-validates the same idea several times as it pivots, so the "cheapest" single report can cost more
across the iteration cycle. Rule of thumb: one idea, one run → Try Once; a few ideas over months
with no deadline → the never-expire pack; validating many ideas within one month → the monthly plan
(but its unused credits expire). All plans get the identical full report — you're buying quantity
and expiry terms, not features.Always flag the exact prices and credit terms as best-effort and
tell the user to confirm current pricing on ideacheck.ai — the tiers and expiry rules move.
Finalize the idea framing before you spend a credit. One credit = one full report, and a thin or
vague input produces a thin report — tell the user to sharpen the one-line idea, audience, and problem
first so they don't burn a credit (or a re-run) fixing the input.
Use the module outputs as first drafts, then replace them with tested ones. The
target-audience profiles, competitive positioning, and financial scaffold are fast starting drafts
— good enough to launch a smoke test with, but the copy/positioning that survive are the ones that
convert. Push real ad/landing testing to /sales-content and /sales-funnel; export to Word/Excel to
edit the numbers by hand (they're estimates, not projections).
There's no public API — don't plan an integration around it. If asked to automate, export in bulk,
or pipe reports into another system, say plainly there's no documented public API, no webhooks, no
Zapier/Make, no MCP. The only way to get data out is to export the report (PDF/Word/Excel) and
parse it yourself. The thing actually worth automating is the real signal (landing-page
conversions), not the generated report — route that to /sales-idea-validation and /sales-funnel.
If you discover a gotcha or tip not in references/learnings.md, append it there with today's date.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research (2026-07) — IdeaCheck's pricing, credit terms, and module set move; verify at ideacheck.ai.
The report is an AI opinion, not demand. A polished multi-module report generated from a short
description validates nothing on its own — follow it with a real-behavior test (smoke test / pre-sale).
Three pricing models, one report — buy on re-run count. Pay-per-report, a never-expire 5-pack,
and a monthly plan all deliver the identical full report; the monthly plan's unused credits
expire at period end while the pack's don't. Match the model to how often you'll re-validate.
Market-size / financial numbers are AI estimates. Verify TAM, unit economics, and projections
against primary sources before quoting them; export to Excel and replace the numbers by hand.
One credit = one full report, and thin input → thin report. A vague idea description wastes a
credit — sharpen the framing first; re-running after a pivot spends another credit.
No public API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make/MCP. It's a UI tool; the only export is
PDF/Word/Excel you download and parse. You can't script or batch it.
Niche indie tool, thin independent review presence. Few third-party reviews — weigh marketing
claims (module counts, "deep research tier") accordingly and confirm the current feature set live.

Examples
Example 1: "IdeaCheck gave my idea a solid report — should I build it?"
User says: "IdeaCheck ran all the modules and the report looks good. Is my idea validated?"
Skill does: Explains the report is an LLM opinion generated from a short description — its market
sizing, financials, and competitor set are AI estimates, not demand. Tells the user to keep the
structured parts (competitor/positioning, target-audience profiles, risks) to sharpen the pitch, then
route the real go/no-go to /sales-idea-validation — a smoke test or pre-sale where a stranger takes an
action — rather than trusting the report.
Result: The founder gets real demand signal before building, using IdeaCheck's structure, not its verdict.
Example 2: Which IdeaCheck plan is actually cheapest for me?
User says: "IdeaCheck has a $2.99 single report, a 5-pack, and a monthly plan — which should I get?"
Skill does: Explains all three deliver the identical full report — you're buying quantity and
expiry, not features. Maps the choice to re-run count: one idea run once → Try Once; a few ideas
over months with no deadline → the 5-pack whose credits never expire; validating many ideas inside
one month → the monthly Starter (but its unused credits expire at period end). Warns that a founder
who re-validates the same idea through several pivots can pay more with "cheap" single reports than one
pack, and to confirm current prices on ideacheck.ai.
Result: The user picks the model that matches their iteration cycle instead of the lowest sticker price.
Example 3: Can I export or automate IdeaCheck reports? (developer/automation)
User says: "I want to run 30 ideas through IdeaCheck and pull the reports into a database via API."
Skill does: States plainly there's no documented public API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, no MCP
— it's a UI tool whose only export is PDF/Word/Excel, so there's no supported way to batch or export
programmatically. Suggests exporting to Excel/Word and parsing locally, or using a tool built for
programmatic validation, and notes the thing worth automating is a real demand signal (landing-page
conversions), not a generated report — pointing to /sales-idea-validation and /sales-funnel.
Result: The user avoids building on a non-existent API and picks a workable path.
Troubleshooting
The report reads glowing / it never really tells me not to build
Symptom: Every module assumes the idea should proceed and the tone is encouraging.
Cause: The report is a short-prompt LLM output — it pattern-matches to plausible-sounding
encouragement and can invent supporting "facts" (market size, demand).
Solution: Stop treating the report as the decision. Keep the structured outputs (competitors, risks,
audience profiles, unit-economics scaffold) and run a real demand test — smoke test or pre-sale — via
/sales-idea-validation.
I paid for a single report but want to validate more ideas / a pivot
Symptom: Expected ongoing access; a second idea (or a re-run after a pivot) asks for another credit.
Cause: One credit = one full report. Try Once buys a single report; re-running spends another.
Solution: If you'll re-validate repeatedly, switch model: the 5-pack (credits never expire) for a
few ideas over time, or the monthly Starter for many ideas inside one month (its unused credits
expire). Finalize each idea's framing before spending a credit. Confirm current prices on ideacheck.ai.
I want an API or a way to export/automate
Symptom: Want to script IdeaCheck or pull reports into another system.
Cause: IdeaCheck has no documented public API, webhooks, or iPaaS connectors; it's a web tool that
exports PDF/Word/Excel only.
Solution: Export the report and parse it locally, or use a tool intended for programmatic use;
automate a real demand signal (landing-page analytics) instead. See /sales-idea-validation.
