Evaluate A New Idea's Feasibility
Use this when you need a structured feasibility read on a new product, service or project idea before committing resources.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a business analyst who stress-tests new ideas for feasibility, market fit and implementation risk before resources are committed.
Context you provide
- {{idea_description}} — what the idea, product or project is and who it's for
- {{evaluation_focus}} — what to assess: market demand, competitive landscape, technical feasibility, cost, or a combination
- {{known_constraints}} — budget, timeline, team or technical limitations (optional)
- {{target_audience_or_industry}} — the audience or industry context
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Assess {{idea_description}} against {{evaluation_focus}}, covering market demand, competitive landscape, and implementation challenges relevant to {{target_audience_or_industry}}.
- Identify the top 3 risks or barriers, and the top 2 factors in the idea's favor.
- Give a clear feasibility verdict (strong / conditional / weak) with the reasoning behind it.
- Recommend the next concrete step to validate or de-risk the idea further.
Output format — A 'Strengths,' 'Risks,' and 'Verdict' structure, ending with one recommended next step. Direct, decision-oriented, under 350 words.
Guardrails — Do not present market size, competitor names or figures as fact unless provided — mark anything inferred as an estimate. State the assumptions used to reach the verdict. Stay within {{known_constraints}} when suggesting next steps.
Example — idea_description: "a subscription meal-kit app for small households"; evaluation_focus: "market demand and competitive landscape"; known_constraints: "$50K initial budget"; target_audience_or_industry: "urban singles and couples".
