Question 1

What is Cresh and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Cresh is an AI-powered platform that analyzes and validates business ideas. You describe your idea through a guided wizard, and Cresh evaluates it across 33 detailed metrics grouped into five categories. The platform returns scores, plain-language explanations, and actionable suggestions. A free partial analysis (5 metrics) is available to get an early signal.

Question 2

How does Cresh validate a startup idea?

Accepted Answer

Cresh uses custom AI models trained on startup patterns, market signals and best practices. The system examines market demand, problem–solution fit, competition, feasibility, monetization and scalability. The output is a structured validation report that highlights whether an idea is worth pursuing and which areas need improvement.

Question 3

Can Cresh analyze any type of business idea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cresh can analyze many idea types — SaaS, mobile apps, marketplaces, B2B tools, consumer products, services, AI products, and more. As long as you can describe the concept, our wizard and AI can evaluate it.

Question 4

What do the 33 metrics include?

Accepted Answer

The metrics span Technical Viability, Market Viability, Product Viability, Market Strategy, Monetization Model and Risk and Financial Viability. Each metric includes a score, a narrative explanation, and concrete improvement advice.

Question 5

Is the free analysis enough?

Accepted Answer

The free analysis includes 5 key metrics, all from the Market Viability group (one of the five groups in the full evaluation). It provides an initial signal about market potential but does not evaluate Competition, Problem–Solution Fit, Monetization/Scalability or Feasibility. For a full picture and detailed recommendations you should get the complete 33-metric report.

Question 6

How accurate is the AI analysis?

Accepted Answer

Cresh's AI is designed to provide consistent, structured assessments based on startup best practices and market reasoning. While no tool guarantees success, the platform offers objective insights that reduce risk and help you prioritize tests before investing significant time or money.

Question 7

What's the difference between 'analyze', 'test', and 'validate' a business idea?

Accepted Answer

Analyze: get structured feedback on strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. Test: run practical checks (interviews, pre-sales, MVP tests) to see if assumptions hold. Validate: confirm that the idea is feasible, has demand and can scale. Cresh provides analysis that supports both testing and validation decisions.

Question 8

How long does it take to analyze an idea?

Accepted Answer

A full analysis typically takes around 10 minutes. Describe your idea, submit it through the wizard, and let our AI process the 33 metrics — you can grab a coffee while it runs. When it's ready, the complete validation report appears in your dashboard.

Question 9

Do I need to have a fully developed idea?

Accepted Answer

No. Cresh works well with early-stage or vague concepts. The built-in wizard guides you through targeted questions (problem, audience, solution, monetization assumptions) so the AI can analyze your idea even if it's not fully formed.

Question 10

Can I update my idea and re-run the analysis?

Accepted Answer

Currently, existing analyses in Cresh cannot be edited or re-run. If you want to validate an updated version of your idea, you’ll need to submit it again as a new analysis. Simply describe your updated concept and purchase one token to run a fresh evaluation.

Question 11

Is my data safe and private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your idea and analysis results are kept private within your account. Cresh does not sell your data or use your private submissions to train public models. Data handling follows our privacy policy and security practices.

Question 12

Do investors or incubators accept this kind of analysis?

Accepted Answer

Many mentors, accelerators and early-stage investors appreciate structured validation reports as a concise way to judge market understanding, risks and readiness. Cresh reports help you present a clear, data-informed narrative about your idea.

Question 13

Who is Cresh designed for?

Accepted Answer

Cresh is aimed at startup founders, solo entrepreneurs, indie hackers, product teams, students and anyone who wants to rapidly test and validate business ideas before committing resources.

Question 14

Does Cresh work for AI startup ideas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cresh can analyze AI-related concepts such as LLM-powered products, agents, automation tools, analytics platforms and AI-enabled SaaS solutions. The evaluation covers technical feasibility, market fit and monetization specifics for AI projects.

Question 15

Why should I validate a startup idea before building it?

Accepted Answer

Early validation prevents wasted time and money by revealing lack of demand, unclear problems, strong competition, weak monetization or feasibility issues. Validating first lets you prioritize the riskiest assumptions and design inexpensive tests.

Question 16

Can I compare multiple ideas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cresh saves your analysis reports so you can compare overall scores, strengths, weaknesses and risk profiles across multiple ideas to choose the best option to pursue.

Question 17

How much does Cresh cost?

Accepted Answer

Cresh offers a free starter analysis that includes 5 key metrics. If you'd like to unlock the full 33-metric analysis, you can choose from three paid options: 1 analysis for $3, 3 analyses for $8, or 5 analyses for $12. There are no subscriptions or hidden fees—you pay only for the analyses you need.

Question 18

What makes Cresh different from ChatGPT or general AI tools?

Accepted Answer

Unlike general-purpose AI, Cresh uses a structured 33-metric framework specifically designed for business idea validation. It produces consistent scoring, targeted improvement suggestions and benchmarking relevant to founders — not generic text.

Question 19

Can Cresh help me choose the best idea to build first?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By analyzing and scoring multiple ideas, Cresh helps you compare market potential, feasibility, competitive risk and monetization to pick the strongest idea to execute first.

Question 20

Does Cresh support lean startup methods?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cresh is aligned with lean principles: it helps you rapidly validate hypotheses, prioritize riskiest assumptions, and design follow-up tests (customer interviews, pre-sales, MVPs) that reduce time-to-learning.
