This estimate uses only the text you enter here. It does not pull live market data.
What to enter before the number means anything
Thin inputs create confident-looking noise. Give the tool enough context to point to the next check, not a fake build recommendation.
One product idea
Name the buyer, the problem, and the first job in one sentence. If it needs a paragraph, the idea is still too wide for a useful score.
Three demand keywords
Use phrases from three moments: when the user wants a tool, when something is broken, and when they compare options or workflows.
Known alternatives
Write down what the searcher would find today: products, templates, articles, scripts, agencies, spreadsheets, or manual workarounds.
What the score is actually reading
Search demand is useful when it describes a task people already try to finish. The score separates demand, reachable competition, and whether the problem sits near a paid workflow.
| Signal | Stronger signal | Weak or risky signal |
|---|---|---|
| Demand exists | The keywords describe a specific problem, product category, workflow pain, or buying situation. | The terms are mostly definitions, broad research topics, or phrases with several unrelated meanings. |
| Competition is reachable | Current results leave room for a focused tool, checklist, diagnostic page, or workflow-specific product. | The results are owned by strong platforms, marketplaces, news sites, or generic articles with no clear gap. |
| Monetization path is plausible | The pain is close to time loss, repeated work, compliance pressure, revenue risk, or a paid workflow. | The search looks one-off, academic, low-stakes, or useful only as free information. |
Why these fields are here
Founders often bring an idea before they bring the searcher. These fields force the missing context into view: who has the problem, what they type, and what they already use instead.
Read it as an early signal, not a verdict
Use this page for a first read. Use the saved Phase 0 workflow when you have more keywords, competitor notes, provider data, and a decision you want to keep with the project.
| Path | Input | Basis | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text-only first pass | 1 sentence and 3 keywords | Early AI-assisted interpretation, no live search-volume pull in this page | Low |
| Saved Phase 0 | 20-50 known keywords plus competitor notes | Keywords Everywhere, SERP review, AI classification, and user scoring | Higher |
What to do after the score appears
The score matters only if it changes what you do next. Use it to tighten the idea, find a smaller wedge, or decide the inputs are too thin for build work.
If demand is unclear
Replace broad keywords with problem searches, error searches, or workflow searches before treating the idea as weak.
If competition looks too strong
Look for a narrower use case, audience, file type, platform, or painful edge case the dominant results do not solve well.
If monetization is the risk
Check whether the problem repeats, saves time, protects revenue, or appears in a workflow where users already pay for help.
Read the weak spot first
The number is the least interesting part. The useful part is which input breaks first: demand, competition, or money path.
Read demand first
If the keywords do not describe a real task, error, comparison, or buying moment, treat the score as a prompt to rewrite the inputs.
Then read competition
Competitors are useful only when you can name a reachable wedge instead of a broad category you cannot enter.
End with the next check
The output should change the next hour of work: narrow the problem, collect better phrases, or move the idea into a saved review.
Questions before you build from this score
Is this a full market research report?
No. This is an early demand signal, not a full market research report. For a higher-confidence verdict, run the full 13-dimension validation.
Does this page use live market data?
No. This public page uses only the text you enter. It does not check live volume, rankings, competitors, or pricing.
Why start with only three keywords?
Three keywords force the first pass to stay narrow. If those terms do not show a real problem, adding more data usually hides the weak premise instead of fixing it.
Can a low-confidence output still be useful?
Yes. A weak result can still tell you what is missing: a clearer problem phrase, a smaller wedge, or one competitor gap worth checking.
Does ShipOrStop make the final ship-or-stop call?
No. ShipOrStop organizes the inputs and explains the limits. You still confirm, change, or reject the project decision.
Keep the first pass small. Make the next check concrete.
If the first pass looks promising, move the idea into Phase 0 with more keywords and competitor notes. If it is weak, change the search phrases or the wedge before committing your next 12 weeks.
