Assess Your Idea
by Signal Logic Labs
Your time is irreplaceable.
Find out which ideas deserve it.
An attractive idea can absorb months before its assumptions are tested. Assess Your Idea examines whether it deserves more time and resources, taking account of whose decision it is and what they want to achieve.

- The question
- Does this deserve the next commitment?
- The frame
- One decision-maker lens and one objective.
- The useful result
- A reasoned next step, including when to stop.
The lens and objective change what matters.
A sustainable small business, an internal initiative and a venture-scale opportunity need different assessments.
The lens identifies whose resources are at stake. The objective identifies what they want to achieve.
Example questions
Does this deserve your next serious block of effort?
Look for a credible need and a realistic way to reach a first customer. Choose a manageable test whose result could change your decision.
Try different lenses and objectives to see example questions. Open Assess Your Idea for an assessment of your own proposal.
A promising idea may need more evidence before you commit.
Examine the strengths, missing evidence and practical requirements. The report may recommend proceeding, running a smaller test, changing the idea, pausing or stopping.
Use the report to guide your next decision, then test the assumptions and seek specialist advice where needed.
Keep the conclusions separate.
- Idea merit
- How much promise does the underlying concept show?
- Lens fit
- Does it meet this decision-maker's standard?
- Evidence support
- What is supported, and what remains unproven?
- Commitment
- What is justified now, rather than eventually?
