Questions, answered.

A few minutes. You describe the idea; the engine returns the first-pass screen — verdict, score, competition, and a 48-hour test you can run yourself.

Yes — that's the point. Run SCAN across your whole backlog, then escalate only the ones that earn it.

A chat reply is a confident guess in a text box. whatifnowai runs a structured, multi-step analysis, scores it on fixed dimensions, cites tiered evidence, and hands you a designed report you can act on — and revisit. It's the difference between an opinion and a due-diligence file.

Fast validation gives fast answers; we give defensible ones. A SCAN still takes only minutes, but it cross-references real market signal and cites every claim — so the verdict holds up when you act on it, or show an investor.

Public sources — official data, publications, and community signal (forums, reviews) — each tagged by source tier (A / B / C) so you know how much to trust it.

Then you just saved months. A clear "Avoid" or "Pivot" with the reasons is the most valuable output the engine can give you — and you never paid to go deeper.

Because every run calls real data sources — that costs real money, and a watered-down free tier would mean watered-down evidence. The free idea check gives you an honest signal read in seconds; a full SCAN is $19. You only ever pay for real analysis.

Yes. Start with SCAN; escalate to MAP, BUILD, or LAUNCH whenever you're ready — you pay only the difference, and the engine reuses everything the earlier tiers established.
