Know what to build before you build it

Hi — I'm Trace.
Tell me about
your idea.

A sentence is enough. I'll tell you how confident you should be in this idea — and what to do next to raise that confidence.

You

Most ideas fail because they're never tested. Not because they're bad
— because nobody checked.

How it works

One sentence in. Your confidence grade in minutes.

01

Say it out loud.

Speak, type, or upload. Trace mirrors your idea back sharper, then asks one question to configure the workspace.

02

Agents build in parallel.

In about a minute, you have a confidence grade, the one thing most likely to kill your idea, and the experiment that addresses it — before you've done any work.

03

You decide the next move.

The home state is always one opinionated next action. Agents process; you confirm, adjust, decide.

Five phases · one gate at a time

Evidence opens the gate. Not time. Not vibes.

Spark

What's the context, and what could kill this?

Problem

Is the problem real, significant, and owned?

Solution

Does what we're building actually solve it?

Market

Does it work in real market conditions?

Scale

Can we grow this efficiently?

21 methods · Trace picks the right one

Don't guess how to validate. There's a method for that.

Trace picks the right method for your stage — you just run it.

Is the problem real?

Trace selects the right interview or survey method for your stage — and designs it for you.

Will they pay?

Pricing experiments, fake-door tests, or concierge offers — matched to what you need to prove.

Can you reach them?

Channel tests and landing page experiments that tell you whether your market is reachable before you build.

Evidence over opinion

Not all evidence is equal.

Every piece of evidence is graded. Only the strong stuff moves your confidence score.
