How Idea Autopsy's 7-Stage Analysis Works

The Autopsy is governed by sequential gating. Each analytical stage relies on the output of the preceding one, creating compound intelligence and exposing compounding risks.

STAGE 01[ Engine: Claude Sonnet 4.6 ]

Unfair Advantage

We analyze your founder profile against the core idea. The output identifies the true unfair advantage—or flags if you have none. This foundation frames the rest of the autopsy.

STAGE 02[ Engine: Claude Opus 4.7 ]

Brutal Mentor Review

Opus adopts the persona of a hardened investor. It ignores politeness to deliver harsh truths, pointing out fundamental flaws in logic and demanding necessary pivots for viability.

STAGE 03[ Engine: Claude Opus 4.7 ]

Customer Obsession Map

Instead of generic demographics, we build a singular composite persona. We map their daily frustrations, irrational fears, and the exact trigger event that would force them to buy.

STAGE 04[ Engine: Claude Sonnet 4.6 ]

Competitor Teardown

Locates the top 5 direct competitors. Deconstructs their positioning, pricing models, and vulnerabilities to find the exact wedge your idea can exploit.

STAGE 05[ Engine: Claude Opus 4.7 ]

Risk Teardown

A pre-mortem analysis predicting exactly how and why the idea will fail within 90 days. Highlights regulatory, technical, and market risks with brutal clarity.

STAGE 06[ Engine: Claude Sonnet 4.6 ]

First Revenue Sprint

Drafts a hyper-constrained 14-day execution plan. It ignores long-term scale and focuses entirely on scrappy, unscalable methods to secure your first $1,000.

STAGE 07[ Engine: Claude Sonnet 4.6 ]

Three Pitches

Generates tailored 30-second pitches: one for an investor focused on scale, one for a customer focused on pain resolution, and one for a partner focused on mutual leverage.
