Test your AI content or service idea before you waste a weekend building it. Score 5 of 5 and you have a validated offer. Score less and you'll know exactly what to fix.
Step 1 of 6 · Your Idea
What's the AI offer you're thinking about?
One or two sentences. Keep it specific. You can refine it as you go.
Don't overthink the wording. Just describe what you'd pitch if someone asked you over coffee.
Question 1 of 5 · Saturation Check
Is this model already saturated or scam-adjacent?
The market has moved. Several categories that worked in 2023 and 2024 don't clear the floor in 2026.
Dead or Dying in 2026
Generic prompt packs sold on Etsy or Gumroad
Mass AI blog writing for content mills
Faceless AI voiceover YouTube channels
Thin GPT wrappers and custom GPTs for the GPT Store
Generic LinkedIn ghostwriting with no industry focus
Generalist "AI automation agency" with no vertical
Yes, my offer fits one of those categoriesIt's in the dead list above.
No, my offer doesn't fit any of thoseNot saturated, not in the scam bucket.
Question 2 of 5 · Name the Buyer
Can you name the buyer in one sentence?
Not "small business owners." Not "entrepreneurs." Specific industry, role, or location. If the buyer is everyone, the buyer is no one.
What "Specific" Looks Like
· Fractional CFOs I worked with at my last fintech job
· Residential real estate agents in my zip code
· Wedding photographers in the UK who shoot 20+ weddings a year
· Law firms with 2 to 10 attorneys doing personal injury
Question 3 of 5 · First Transaction Price
Can you price the first transaction at $500 or above?
Below $500 is volume-dependent. You'll need dozens of sales to make it worth your time and you'll burn out before you get there. $500+ means one sale covers real effort.
$
For retainers, enter the first month's price. For projects, enter the full project price.
Question 4 of 5 · Existing Expertise
Does this use expertise you already have?
Domain plus AI beats new AI skill plus no domain. Every time. If you have to learn a new industry, a new profession, and AI at the same time, you'll quit in week 3.
Question 5 of 5 · Delivery Time
Can you deliver the first version in under 10 hours?
If the first deliverable takes 40+ hours, you will never ship it. The offers that work in 2026 are the ones where AI does the bulk and you do the judgment.
Include discovery, setup, drafting, review, and delivery. Not future maintenance.
