Many AI founders waste time and money building products no one wants. Use this quick checklist to validate your AI idea before you start coding.

✅ If most of your answers are YES, you're on the right track.

❌ If many are NO, you may need to refine your idea.

1️⃣ Problem-Solution Fit

→ Is this idea solving a real problem?

• Do people already struggle with this problem?
• Are people currently trying to solve it?
• Would people actually pay for a solution?

2️⃣ Market Demand

→ Is there an audience ready to pay for this?

• Are there already paying competitors?
• Is my idea meaningfully different or better?
• Can I name 10-20 people who’d buy this?
• Can I explain my idea in one sentence?

3️⃣ Pre-Sale Readiness

→ Can I test demand before building?

• Can I create a simple landing page to test interest?
