The Opportunity Diagnostic measures your idea across four dimensions — problem clarity, market instinct, validation signal, and founder-market fit — and tells you exactly where you stand and what to focus on next. Built on 18+ years of venture building across 11 APAC markets.
Is the problem specific, urgent, and costing someone real money or time? Vague problems have vague buyers. The diagnostic probes how sharply you can define the pain you're solving.
Do you know who your first customer is — specifically? Can you name them, describe their budget, and explain why they'd buy this quarter? Market instinct is about precision, not market size.
Have you tested whether real people will pay? The diagnostic distinguishes between verbal interest, active pilots, and signed commercial relationships — because they are very different signals.
Are you the right person to build this — specifically? Domain depth, network access, and intrinsic motivation are the three forms this takes. The diagnostic tells you which you have and which you're missing.
Every result is a specific diagnosis with actionable next steps — not a generic score or a cheerful summary.
