Should you proceed, prove it first, or pause?

Touchstone weighs an idea on demand, durability, and your own fit — then gives you a clear verdict and one next move. Not a score to puzzle over.

How it works
STEP 1

Assessment

See exactly where your idea stands, scored on three lenses — with a clear verdict and one next move.

STEP 2

Success Simulator

Change one thing and watch how it could shift your scores — illustrative, never a prediction.

STEP 3

Incubator

Work through your weakest spot with a guided session, and take away your reports.

One payment covers up to 5 ideas. Steps 2 and 3 live inside the Idea Lab.

The Three-Lens Framework
LENS 1

Viability Gate

9 checks covering demand, unit economics, entry feasibility, competitive moat, regulatory exposure, and AI commoditization risk. Pass/fail — filters out structurally broken ideas before you invest time in them.

LENS 2

Compounding Score

5 principles: predictable cash flow, reinvestment engine, one lane, sequenced risk, and AI leverage. Measures whether the business gets easier or harder with each passing month.

LENS 3

Founder Fit

10 dimensions including passion, network capital, execution DNA, life stage, financial resilience, and AI fluency. The lens most frameworks ignore — and the most predictive of actual outcomes.

After the verdict — the Idea Lab
✦ Three reports included

Clarity, then courage.

The Assessment tells you where an idea stands. The Idea Lab helps you make it stronger: explore where it's fragile, brainstorm ways to shore it up, and try "what if I changed this?" — with illustrative re-scores from the same scoring engine. You keep a second report alongside your Assessment.

Lever explorer
Try moves like validating demand or adding recurring revenue, and see an illustrative re-score.
Refine chat
A calm thinking partner, grounded in your idea — options and questions, never advice or predictions.
Second report
An "Idea Lab — Strengthening your idea" report to keep, emailed as its own PDF.

Included with the Full Assessment. Illustrative re-scores are explorations, not predictions.
