Questions
Is the pressure test really free?
Yes. The test, your score and the verdict on each test are free. A free account unlocks the full 11-section report in your data room, with no credit card.
Is my idea kept confidential?
Your answers are used only to generate your report. They are not published, shared with investors or used to build anything else.
How is the score calculated?
Your idea is graded across 11 dimensions: market, audience, competition, differentiation, business model, financials, go-to-market, legal, risk, execution and the overall verdict. Each one is scored and weighted into the final number.
What if my idea scores low?
That's the point. Each test says what's weak and what to fix. Sharpen the idea and take the test again.
How long does it take?
The first read takes a minute. The full exam is six questions, about ten minutes to answer well.
