Value Equation
Dream outcome and how likely it feels, against the time and effort it costs.
The idea addresses a real pain but has limited immediate revenue potential and a small target market, lowering its overall value score.
One-Person Business

The idea is relevant and timely but faces challenges in user acquisition and monetization, reducing its overall attractiveness.
Builder Lens
Evidence the problem exists, timing, defensibility, and a model that fits on a napkin.
