Startup Ideation
Scope
Covers
- Turning vague "startup ideas" into structured opportunity theses
- Expanding your information diet to find off-the-beaten-path opportunities
- Running a Why Now analysis based on technology + behavior + distribution shifts
- Identifying tarpits (ideas that look good but are structurally hard) and pruning early
- Scoring ideas and producing a top-idea 1‑pager + 2‑week validation plan
When to use
- "Help me come up with startup ideas in/around ."
- "We have 5 ideas — help us pick one and explain why."
- "What’s a good Why Now for this idea?"
- "Pressure to do AI — where are real new opportunities?"
- "How do we avoid idea tarpits and pick something differentiated?"
