You've generated multiple tech ideas using brainstorming, SCAMPER, and mash-ups. Now comes the crucial step: systematic screening to find your best opportunities.
Most tech entrepreneurs pick ideas based on gut feeling. Smart ones use objective criteria to evaluate systematically.
Engagement Message
Can you remember one of your tech ideas and write it down here so we can evaluate it? Doesn't have to be your favorite one!
We'll use a simple three-part scorecard: Desirability (do users really want this?), Feasibility (can you actually build and scale it?), and Viability (will it generate revenue?).
Each criterion gets scored 1-5, giving you a total score up to 15 per idea.
Engagement Message
Which of these three—desirability, feasibility, or viability—feels most important to you?
Desirability measures user need intensity. High scores mean people actively seek solutions, download competing apps, or complain frequently about existing software limitations.
Low scores mean people mention it occasionally but don't take action to solve it.
Engagement Message
On a 1–5 scale, how would you rate user desire for your picked idea?
Feasibility examines whether you can realistically build and scale this tech solution. Consider your technical skills, development resources, timeline, API availability, and any platform restrictions or compliance requirements.
Don't aim for perfection—ask whether it's achievable with reasonable coding effort and learning.
Engagement Message
What's one technical feasibility challenge you see with your picked idea?
Viability focuses on revenue potential. Can users afford subscription fees, in-app purchases, or premium features? Are there enough users? Can you acquire them cost-effectively through digital channels?
Consider tech monetization models like SaaS subscriptions, freemium tiers, or platform commissions.
