No spreadsheet, no finance degree, about ten minutes — from your idea to a report you can check.
Idea, intake, interview, the maths, the report, the Sandpit — here's the whole thing, start to finish. It plays on its own, or step through it yourself.
Each one reads the same numbers — it just argues a different case. Together they put the best case for and against your idea on the table before anything is settled.
Argues the upside — realistic opportunities, expansion paths, demand signals, and where businesses like yours have done well. Grounded, never rose-tinted invention.
Names the failure modes founders gloss over — cost surprises, demand overreach, regulation, owner burnout.
Weighs both and gives you a clear, reasoned summary — the trade-offs that matter, without splitting the difference.
One number from your report — what you'd keep in year one — read by each perspective in turn. Tap a read to see how it shifts.
From your idea to real clarity, step by step.
A short, structured set of questions: what the business is, where it operates, your stage, your budget, your goal. No essay — just enough to set the scene.
Industry figures come from authoritative Australian sources — the ATO, ABS and ASIC, plus Fair Work pay rates and live local data. You confirm or replace each one. The plan stays yours.
The actual calculation — the financial figures, the hard facts. Your startup and running costs, revenue, staffing and 36-month cashflow run through the engine into real numbers: break-even, payback, what you'd keep. Then the Sandpit lets you pull the levers — price, how busy you'll be, headcount — and watch every figure move in real time.
The hopeful, worried and balanced perspectives each read your idea across two independent AI providers, so no single model's blind spot decides anything.
A clear, plain-English picture across Dashboard, Costs, Revenue, Marketing and Strategy. Every figure is editable — agree or disagree with our numbers, override any with your own, and watch the model recalculate live.
Plenty of tools throw a generic prompt at a model and hope for the best. We start from real Australian benchmarks and market data, and build real depth into every number.
Your idea is read from three angles — hopeful, worried and balanced — across two independent AI providers, so no single model's blind spot decides anything.
Agree or disagree with our source figures, override any of them with your own, and the whole model recalculates. The plan stays yours.
