Free validation first

Your idea, turned into a build contract.

AppValidate measures real search demand, scans your live competitors, checks what the AI assistants already recommend, then runs an adversarial product debate to choose your wedge. You leave with a build contract your AI builder can execute.

The problem you care about, in your own words. We grade the directions by how well each one solves it. Leave it blank to work from the product below alone.

The product or app you are picturing, in a few plain sentences. We validate this, and shape the directions around it.

Describe the target customer as specifically as you can.

Competitors you already know (optional)

Up to 3 names or domains. We find the rest ourselves.

Free preview. No email, no card. The full report and build contract is $29 after.

What you get

The report you are paying for, before you start.

Every call is grounded in real search results, real AI answers and real threads, not opinion. Here is the shape of it: a scored verdict, the demand, who is already there, and where you are missing.

1The verdictA scored call from the evidence: build, build with a wedge, crowded, or not enough demand yet. Here, build with a wedge.
2Real demandThe questions people actually search, with monthly volumes from live keyword data. Not a guess.
3Who is already thereThe competitors ranking today and how contested the space looks, so the gap is obvious.
4Where you are missingWhat the assistants recommend now, and the threads where the pain is posted but you are not in the answer.
AI answer landscape

See what the assistants already recommend.

When a buyer asks for what you want to build, four assistants hand back a shortlist. The report shows you that shortlist for your idea, and whether there is room to be the answer.

From evidence to a plan

An adversarial debate picks your wedge, then builds the contract.

Three product leads argue the angle over the evidence and settle on the wedge it best supports. That wedge becomes a build contract, and the weaker directions stay on the table as pivots.

Illustrative exampleWhere the wedge could land
Squarely in
Shift-pattern meal planner

Plans rebuild around a rotating rota, not a fixed week. The clearest read on the evidence.

Adjacent
Batch-cook coach for odd hours

A narrower wedge into prep-ahead cooking. Real demand, a smaller first audience.

A reach
Team meal planning for wards

A B2B pivot to whole teams. Interesting, but further from where the search is today.

Then, the build contract

A plan your AI builder can execute.

An adversarial product debate chooses your wedge, then the report turns it into a machine-readable contract. Hand it over and start from what the market actually wants.

Positioning debate

Three product leads argue your angle from different priorities and settle on the wedge worth taking.

Wedge re-check

The chosen wedge run back through live search data before you commit a single day to it.

Recommended stack

An opinionated, boring-on-purpose stack a solo founder can actually ship on, with the honest runners-up.

MVP scope

Epics and features with checkable acceptance criteria, in the order an AI builder should build them.

Brand voice

Naming directions, tone, vocabulary and taglines to start from, not a blank page.

Pricing

A pricing model and tiers grounded in what the competitors actually charge.

Launch playbook

First moves, week one and month one, with the channels where the pain is already being posted.

Machine-readable download

The whole contract as a file you hand to Cursor, Claude, v0, or whatever you build with.

Questions

Before you start.

What is in the build contract?

A chosen wedge from an adversarial product debate, re-checked against live search data, then a machine-readable plan: MVP scope with acceptance criteria, a recommended stack, brand voice, a pricing recommendation, and a launch playbook. You can hand the download straight to your AI builder.

Why should I trust the debate?

The debate is not a single opinion. Three product-lead personas argue the angle from different priorities, keep their disagreements on the record, and settle on the wedge the evidence best supports. You see their reasoning, not just the conclusion.

Can I just ask ChatGPT or Claude?

You can, and it is worth doing. What a chat assistant cannot do is fetch live search volumes, scan the real competitors ranking today, or re-check the chosen wedge against the current market. AppValidate grounds every call in live data rather than the model memory.

Is the free preview really free?

Yes. You type the idea and we run a free community peek, with no email and no card. You only pay if you want the full report and the build contract.

Do I get a re-run?

Every paid report includes one free re-run. Sharpen the idea or narrow the audience and run all the checks again, at no extra charge.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes for the full report. The free community peek lands within seconds, and the page updates itself as each check lands.

Can I share the report?

Yes. The link works for anyone you send it to, so you can show a co-founder or an investor. It is not indexed by search engines.

Start with the idea. Leave with a build contract.

The first look is free. The full report and build contract is $29.
