• score_idea

  Score a product idea against LIVE market data: the idea in plain words is turned into a market lookup, comparables are pulled from the directory where it would ship (npm, VS Code, WordPress.org, GitHub, Hacker News, Apify, Hugging Face, MCP registry), newcomers (<=24 months) set the reach, sourced priors give conversion and retention. Returns KILL / PASS / UNKNOWN with the deciding number, month-12 revenue ceiling, months to first dollar, and the comparables with links. Takes ~20 s.

  Parameters:

  • idea (required) — string — the product idea, price and whether it has a free tier, in plain words (8-300 chars)

  • limit — integer
  • since — string
