The process

Six stages. Days, not months.

On the landing page we collapse it to four beats. Here's the whole thing — including the parts most studios hide: the score, the rank, and a real human's yes-or-no. The score assists; a person decides.

1

Submit

An idea, an MVP, or a half-dead repo. One link, 60 seconds. No deck, no setup, no call.

your move · 60s
2

Assess

An honest teardown, free: what it is, what's missing to launch, and a hedged read on what it could earn. AI does the legwork; a human reads it.

Score & rank

Four axes — build cost, market, GTM clarity, monetization. The score is a tool to rank the queue, not a verdict.

4

A real yes-or-no

An honest decision from a real operator. If it's a no, you get the why — specific, not a form letter. The teardown is yours either way.

Launch

Your core grafted (or rebuilt) onto our harness, verified, then live — cost-capped, kill switch armed. This is the part that takes days.

Operate & earn

We run it on our stack: payments, analytics, email, growth. You watch it earn. Kill or port out anytime.

Stage 3, up close
What the score actually measures

Four axes, scored to rank the queue. A high score gets you read sooner — it never overrules the human.

Build cost

How much of our build time it takes to get live. Cheaper to launch ranks up.

Market

Is there a real, reachable audience that pays for this kind of thing?

GTM clarity

Do we know exactly how the first 100 users find it? Clear channels rank up.

Monetization

Is there a believable path to revenue we'd bet our build time on?

Stage 5, on the clock
Why launch takes days, not weeks

The work is real — we've just done it a hundred times. Every launch rides the same verified rails.

Honest by construction
The guarantees baked into the process
A no with the why

If we pass, you get specific reasons — not a form letter. People screenshot our declines. That's the bar.

Cost caps + kill switch

Every launch runs cost-capped, with a kill switch armed from day one. Nothing runs away from you.

Kill or port out

No lock-in, ever. Walk away or take everything with you, anytime, no penalty.

You do the first 60 seconds.

We do the other five stages. Most of it in days.
