What I Would Fix First About Idea Filters (Non-Technical)

Three changes that lift filtering for non-technical founders fast.

Fix 1: Replace "Interest" With "Audience Access"

Score builder-fit by who you can reach today, not by what you find fascinating.

Fix 2: Demand Three Written Paid-Pilot Offers

Verbal yes is noise. Written email "yes I would pay $X for this" is signal. Three of those, or kill.

Fix 3: Outside Reviewer Required

Spend 30 minutes with a peer founder before any contractor brief. Their no on a survivor saves you the invoice.

What Stays the Same

The four filters. Same questions. You are just running them honestly now.
