01 / THE PROBLEM

Where it started.

Early ideas often receive broad encouragement without exposing their assumptions. Founders need questions about customer utility, competition and feasibility before investing further effort.

02 / THE APPROACH

Making the problem concrete.

  1. 01

    Capture a short idea or use an example pitch.

  2. 02

    Evaluate it through investor, skeptic, customer and competitor perspectives.

  3. 03

    Run market discovery alongside the persona analysis.

  4. 04

    Expose prompts and structured output through Teach Mode.

03 / THE SOLUTION

A focused workflow.

A Streamlit interface organizes exploratory feedback from four AI personas. The application also provides a command-line entry point and an optional explanation mode for inspecting the process.

  • Four contrasting persona responses
  • Concurrent market discovery
  • Example idea prompts
  • Teach Mode with structured-output inspection

04 / TECHNICAL DECISIONS

The choices behind it.

Multiple viewpoints

Distinct prompts explore different concerns instead of presenting one response as a definitive verdict.

Inspectable workflow

Teach Mode exposes prompts and JSON structures to help users understand how the output is produced.

05 / MY CONTRIBUTION

Scope and responsibility.

Developed the prompt engineering pipeline and Streamlit interface, orchestrating multi-persona evaluations and market discovery prompts with structured output inspection.

06 / EVIDENCE & LIMITATIONS

What the evidence shows.

  • Feedback provides exploratory perspectives for brainstorming, not binding financial or market validation.
  • Requires configured generative AI API access to generate responses.
