Check the idea before you spend.
Two checks in one place. Describe your own idea for an honest scorecard and the assumptions to test first. Or paste a money-making pitch you've seen and check it against common red flags before you pay for anything.

How it works
- Choose 'My idea' or 'Is this pitch legit?'.
- Describe your idea, who would pay, how you'd reach them and the costs — or paste the pitch or ad copy.
- Get a Low/Medium/High scorecard with reasons and cheap tests, or a red-flag check with what to verify and questions to ask.
Questions
- Can it tell me whether a company is a scam?
- No. It checks the pitch you paste against common red-flag patterns and tells you what to verify. It can't verify any real business, person or product, and it won't label one a scam.
- Does a good scorecard mean my idea will work?
- No. It highlights the assumptions most likely to sink the idea and suggests cheap ways to test them. Only real customers can confirm demand.
- Is the pitch I paste stored?
- No. It's sent once to produce the check and isn't saved by Tickd.
