I built a tool to stress-test business ideas, 160 people tried v1, here's what I learned and what's changed

A few weeks ago I posted about a tool I built to help evaluate business ideas before you spend time building them. 160 people tried it, and the most common thing I heard was:

"I'm not stuck on evaluation, I'm stuck on uncertainty and not knowing what to do next."

So I rebuilt it around that. It now asks what's making you hesitate about your idea, figures out your biggest weak point, and tells you exactly what to address first. Still gives you a verdict and scores, but the focus is on clarity and next steps rather than just analysis.

Also got feedback from a university business professor who flagged that the scores felt too authoritative without enough context so I fixed that too.

If you've got an idea you're sitting on and aren't sure if it's worth pursuing, I'd love for yall to try it and tell me what's missing.
Happy to share the link if anyone's interested.

Will your business idea work in the long run?

I built a tool to stress-test business ideas before you spend time building them — would love feedback

I’ve been working on a tool that helps evaluate business ideas by breaking them down into things like feasibility, costs, risks, and market clarity.

Instead of just giving generic AI feedback, it gives a clear verdict (whether the idea is strong, needs refinement, or isn’t viable) along with specific next steps and a way to iterate and re-test the idea.

One thing I’ve been trying to focus on is not just analysis, but actually helping people refine their idea and think through real-world risks before they commit time to it.

Right now it’s still early and I’m trying to understand who this is actually most useful for.

If you’ve been working on an idea or thinking about starting something, I’d genuinely appreciate your thoughts — especially if you’ve struggled with figuring out whether an idea is worth pursuing.

I built an “idea validation” tool… and people roasted it.

Fair enough.

Most of the feedback was:
– “this is just a GPT wrapper”
– “you’re giving false confidence”
– “real validation is talking to users, not getting a score”

And honestly, they weren’t wrong.

So I changed the whole thing.

Instead of telling you “this is a good idea,” it now shows:
– what could actually break your idea
– which risks you need to validate BEFORE building
– where the analysis is uncertain (so you don’t blindly trust it)

Basically, I tried to turn it from a “feel good analysis” into more of a stress test.

Still not perfect, but it feels more honest now.

Curious — would something like this actually be useful, or do you still think these tools miss the point?
