Idea evaluation
An evaluation is a structured hypothesis. Not a verdict from the market.
Skoora is deliberately clear about this. It reads the commercial shape of an idea and tells you where that reading is confident and where it is guessing. Proof still comes from buyers.

Scope of an evaluation
Honest about what it reads, and what it cannot.
An evaluation gives you a comparable read on the commercial shape of an idea, with the thin parts marked as thin. It does not stand in for the market, and it never pretends to.
What an evaluation does
- Applies the same ten commercial signals to every idea, so scores stay comparable across your portfolio.
- States the assumptions your idea depends on, which is what turns a hunch into something testable.
- Attaches a confidence level to each signal, so you know which parts of the read are thin.
- Names the most plausible failure modes before you have committed anything.
- Ends in one decision and one next action.
What it does not do
- It does not prove demand. Nothing that runs in a browser can do that.
- It does not predict revenue, traffic or a funding outcome.
- It does not replace conversations with the people you intend to charge.
- It does not guarantee an idea will work because it scored well, or fail because it did not.
- It does not build the product. It produces the brief your builder needs.
Clarification first
Skoora asks before it assumes.
When a description is missing something essential, the honest move is a question, not a confident score built on an invented buyer.
Up to three clarifying questions are asked per idea. They are short, specific and always about the parts of the idea that change the score.
- Who runs the calls today, the founder or a support person?
- Is the output for the team, or for the customer?
- Would you charge per seat or per workspace?
Example questions from a sample evaluation.
Ten commercial signals
Three questions that decide whether an idea survives.
Every idea is scored across the same ten signals, grouped into three questions: whether people want it, whether it can become a business, and whether you can reach customers and deliver to them. The signal map shows the whole shape in one view.
