What I Would Fix First About Idea Filters (AI SaaS)
Three changes that lift filtering for AI founders fast.
Fix 1: Add a Defensibility Filter
F5: "Is the wedge anything beyond a model call?" If no, kill or refine.
Fix 2: Add a Token Economics Test
Run unit-economics math at 100 customers. If gross margin is below 50%, the idea is borrowed.
Fix 3: Reachability Before Capability
Can you reach the buyer? If no, capability does not matter.
What Stays the Same
Four core filters. Same questions. The AI version adds two, not replaces.
