3-Axis Score
Founder, market, and idea-fit are scored independently and never averaged — disagreement between them is signal, not noise.
Founder
Is this person capable of pulling this off?
60improving

18 years old, shipping a working prototype solo and narrating the build daily. No funding, no team, no network — pure product signal.

2 evidence points backing this score
Market
NEUTRAL
Is this a market worth building a fund-scale outcome in?
58stable

Design-to-code is crowded (Figma AI, Galileo, v0) but the brand-kit-to-shippable-UI wedge is narrower and underserved for small teams.

Idea vs Market
Does the specific idea survive contact with that market?
52stable

Idea is thesis-shaped but unproven against well-funded incumbents; too early to call the wedge durable.
