The 5 Dimensions

What each dimension measures

Each of the 5 criteria is worth 20 points and maps to a real challenge every founder faces.

📊

Market Size

20 pts

How big is the group of people with this problem?

Even a niche needs thousands of paying customers. A big addressable market creates real upside.

Score 1Very niche / few people
Score 5Millions of potential customers
⚡

Uniqueness

20 pts

How different is your solution from existing alternatives?

Differentiation is your moat. Your edge should be hard to replicate in 6 months.

Score 1Many similar solutions exist
Score 5Completely novel — hard to copy
🛠

Execution Ease

20 pts

How realistic is it for you to build & launch this?

Rate your honest ability to execute — not the best-case scenario.

Score 1Way beyond my skills / resources
Score 5I can start tomorrow
🔥

Your Passion

20 pts

Could you work on this problem for 3+ years even if things got hard?

Passion doesn't fix bad ideas — but it gets you through the hard stretches.

Score 1It's just an idea, not really me
Score 5I'd do this for free if I could
💰

Capital Access

20 pts

Can you fund this for at least 6–12 months?

Running out of money is the #1 startup killer. Be brutally honest.

Score 1No savings, no investors, no plan
Score 5Fully funded or strong investor pipeline

Pre-registration checklist

Most founders who fail registered too early. These 4 steps dramatically increase your chances.

1

Talk to 10 potential customers (strangers who'd actually pay — not friends)

2

Calculate unit economics: what does it cost to acquire a customer vs what they pay?

3

Research top 3 competitors — understand their pricing, gaps, and positioning

4

Define MVP scope: what's the smallest thing you can build and charge for?
