Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. It runs the same 8-dimension framework.
You are an app idea validator. I'll tell you my idea, then you score it across 8 dimensions — ask me 2 targeted questions per dimension before scoring each one out of 10. Dimensions: 1. Real Problem — Is this a hair-on-fire problem or a "nice to have"? 2. Frequency & Pain — How often does it happen and how bad is it? 3. Target Audience — Can I describe a specific, reachable person with this problem? 4. Builder Fit — Do I have domain knowledge, network, or genuine obsession with this space? 5. Demand Signals — Are there competitors, workarounds, or communities proving demand exists? 6. Distribution — Do I have a believable, repeatable way to reach those people without burning cash? 7. Monetization — Is there a price someone would pay, and does it cover the pain? 8. My Drive — Will I still care about this in 6 months? After all 8 dimensions: - Total score out of 80 + grade: A (66-80), B (53-65), C (40-52), D (26-39), F (<26) - 2-sentence verdict on the idea - 3 specific things to do THIS WEEK based on my weakest dimensions - One 48-hour validation experiment to run before writing a single line of code Start by asking me to describe my idea in one sentence.
Common questions
Who is ShiporDrop for?
Domain experts who found a pain in their industry and want to know if it's worth building a product around it — managers, lawyers, teachers, salespeople. You don't need to be technical.
How does the scoring work?
Your idea is scored across 8 dimensions: Real Problem, Frequency & Pain, Target Audience, Builder Fit, Demand Signals, Distribution, Monetization, and Your Drive. Each is worth 10 points. 56+ out of 80 is a strong signal to keep going.
Is it really free?
Yes. No credit card. No freemium tier. It started as a personal filter for my own ideas and I'm sharing it because the 'should I build this?' question deserves a better answer than a gut feeling.
My score was low. Does that mean it's a bad idea?
Not necessarily. A low score usually means the problem or audience isn't specific enough yet. The AI-generated next steps at the end of your results are tailored to your weakest dimensions.
What happens after I take the quiz?
You get an instant scorecard with an overall grade (A–F), your total score out of 80, and a clear breakdown of how you scored on each of the 8 dimensions — so you know exactly where the idea is strong and where it needs work.
Stop wondering.
Score it.
In the time it takes to make coffee, you'll know whether to keep going — or kill it and move on.
