95% of ideas fail. See if your startup idea survives the roast.

Validation is a stress-test, not a vote. Don't ask “would you use this?” — measure whether the problem is real, painful, and someone is already trying to fix it. The cheapest version: five honest conversations with people in your target market. The faster version: stress-test your idea with Roast Rocket before you book those calls.

Up to 90–95% of new ventures fail — and it's rarely bad code or bad luck. They build something nobody wants. Roast Rocket maps every idea against the five things that actually decide it: founder fit, market reality, timing, business model, and moat. If even one of those is broken, the rest doesn't matter.

Good ideas survive contact with hard questions. Can you name the buyer? Will they pay today? Why hasn't a competitor done this already? Why now? If you flinch on any of those, your idea isn't bad — it's just untested. That's the gap Roast Rocket exists to close.

Idea validation comes first — you confirm the problem is real and the audience exists. MVP validation comes after — you confirm people will actually pay for the specific solution you built. Skip step one and your MVP is just an expensive opinion poll.

Persevere when the problem keeps testing real but your current solution misses. Pivot when the problem itself is weaker than you assumed. Walk away when neither holds up. Roast Rocket's per-planet feedback tells you which of the three you're looking at.
