# IdeaRank AI

> IdeaRank AI is a brutally honest, AI-powered startup idea validator. A founder types their idea in one line, answers 3 sharp questions, and gets a no-hype verdict — BUILD IT, NOT YET, or DROP IT — with a 0–100 score across six axes (problem, market, moat, money, competition, timing). Every verdict is backed by LIVE web research with clickable cited sources: real named competitors, market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), suggested pricing, red flags, a 90-day validation plan, why similar ideas died, and real-demand signals from communities like Reddit and Hacker News.

## What it is
- A startup idea validator / idea-evaluation tool for founders, indie hackers, and product builders.
- Gives an honest verdict (BUILD IT / NOT YET / DROP IT) plus a 6-axis score out of 100.
- Grounds every analysis in live web search, and cites real sources inline as [n] — not generic AI opinions.

## What makes it different
- Cited sources: every claim links to the live web result that supports it.
- "Why similar ideas died": names real failed/stalled companies in the space and the lesson.
- Real-demand signals: paraphrases what real people actually say in communities (Reddit, HN, forums, review sites), with a strong/moderate/weak demand read.
- Idea Generator: enter your industry, your edge, and who you want to serve, and it generates validated startup ideas grounded in real demand (each with an opportunity score and cited evidence), then one click sends an idea to the full validator.

## Who it's for
- First-time and repeat founders deciding whether an idea is worth building.
- Indie hackers and solo builders who want an honest gut-check before spending months.
- Anyone searching for: "startup idea validator", "validate my startup idea", "is my idea good", "idea evaluation tool", "AI startup advisor".
