SaaS Idea Validator

Validate your SaaS idea by answering 20 questions across 5 key areas: Market (who you're selling to), Problem (what pain you're solving), Solution (how you're solving it), Distribution (how you'll reach customers), and Founder Fit (your unique advantages). This tool scores each area and provides specific recommendations.

A score of 70% or higher suggests a strong foundation worth pursuing. Scores between 55-70% indicate promising concepts that need work in specific areas. Below 55% means significant validation is needed before building. The most important factor isn't the total score, but addressing any critical gaps in Problem or Distribution categories.

The most critical validation criteria are: 1) Have you talked to potential customers about the problem? 2) Is there evidence people will pay? 3) Do you have a clear path to reach customers? 4) Is your solution meaningfully better than alternatives? These four questions predict startup success more than any others.

Yes, completely. This tool runs 100% in your browser. Your idea name, answers, and results are never sent to any server. All data stays on your device. You can optionally save progress to your browser's local storage for future sessions.

This framework was created by Meysam Azad, a technical founder with 8+ years of DevOps/SRE experience who is documenting his journey from engineer to indie hacker. The criteria are based on lessons from successful founders, common failure patterns, and frameworks like The Mom Test.
