FREE CHECKLIST
Is this AI idea ready to build?
Answer twenty yes-or-no questions to find the gaps before a team commits time. Treat anything you do not yet know as a No.
Five areas to check
- 01
Is the value clear?
Name the user, the problem, the person responsible for the result, and the starting point you will measure against.
- 02
Can the team use the data?
Check that the inputs are available, understood, permitted, and suitable for testing.
- 03
Are the risks manageable?
Set the decision boundary, human review, failure response, and owner for each safeguard.
- 04
Will people use it?
Check how it fits the work and who will pilot, learn, give feedback, and support others.
- 05
Can the team deliver it?
Confirm the owner, the people needed, a small first release, and support after launch.

Questions before you use it
How do I get it?
Open Gumroad, enter CHF 0 or a voluntary amount, and provide the email address where you want the PDF delivered.
What should I do with a low score?
Start with the weakest area. Give each No answer an owner and decide what would turn it into a Yes.
Does a high score mean we should build?
No. Further work may reveal weak value, unusable data, unacceptable risk, or a simpler solution. Stopping can be the right decision.
Find the gaps before the build starts.
Give every unanswered question an owner and a next step.
