The real test
A score only means something against a benchmark
Verdikt builds its score from four sub-scores multiplied by 2.5. That math is clean, but a 78 does not mean much unless you know how other ideas score.
Preuve AI · 7,000+ ideas
55
median score across 13 industries
Every score is graded against 6,000+ ideas analyzed since 2026, and only 17.5% earn a go verdict at 70 or above, so a strong score here is one most ideas never reach.

Verdikt publishes no benchmark distribution, so there is no public way to tell whether a 78 is strong or average. The sample is also labeled illustrative with composed numbers.

The gap between a 48 and a 72 on Preuve is usually 2-3 fixable things, and you can see exactly where your idea sits in the distribution.
Fair assessment
What Verdikt does well
Verdikt has some genuinely rigorous features worth calling out.
Tier-graded sources
Sources are sorted into three tiers, from government and peer-reviewed data down to forums. The taxonomy is genuinely rigorous.
Named risk thresholds
Every risk shows up in the report with the threshold that would trigger it, which forces the model to commit instead of hedging.
It got a lot cheaper
It cut the single report from $49.99 to $14.99, with three ideas for $39.99. At that price a cited, tier-graded memo is hard to argue with.
What Preuve AI does differently
Free scan on your real idea
Run a full viability scan before you pay. You get a score, top risks, and 2 competitor previews on your actual idea, with no composed sample numbers.
5,000-idea benchmark
Your score is graded against 6,000+ ideas analyzed since 2026 across 13 industries. Median is 54 and only 17.5% earn a go, so the number has context.
Verifiable claims
Click any data point to see its source. Every competitor, funding round, and demand signal links back to where it was found.
3 pivots, not just a no
When the verdict is weak, the report hands you 3 pivots based on competitive gaps and market signals you can test next.
Investor-ready deliverables
$499 package with pitch deck, investment memo, 18-month financial model, and competitive teardown. Built for due diligence.
Interactive dashboard
A shareable link with 15 interactive sections. Filter competitors, drill into market data, and share specific sections with co-founders or investors.
Verdict in one minute
Who should use which tool

Choose Verdikt if
- You want a cited one-page memo for under $15
- You like an explicit tier-graded source taxonomy
- You are happy to pay $14.99 up front with no free preview at all
- A benchmark distribution behind the score is not important to you
→ Best for one-page memo buyers
Read the fine print
Three Verdikt claims worth a closer look
Every quote below is from tryverdikt.app, checked on August 25, 2026.
No preview
“Most AI for founders tools ship a teaser and call it a verdict.”
Our finding
Fair point, but Verdikt now ships no teaser either: it removed its free basic score, and its FAQ answers “Is there a free tier?” with “No. Every verdict is a paid report.” You commit $14.99 before you see any output on your own idea.
Score-gated
“Build outline with milestones”
Our finding
It is listed as a Single Report feature, but the fine print gates it: the build outline, stack options, and launch-channel notes only ship when your Verdikt Score is 70 or higher. Score below that and you paid for the verdict alone.
Composed demo
“Illustrative” demo
Our finding
The sample report carries the disclaimer that “names, numbers, citations, pricing notes, and build notes are composed for demonstration.” With the free tier gone, this sample is the only thing you can look at before you buy. Preuve's free scan is the real thing.

FAQ
Common questions about Preuve AI vs Verdikt
What is the difference between Verdikt and Preuve AI?
Both score a startup idea 0 to 100, cite sources, and name the risk that would change the verdict. The practical difference is access and grading. Preuve AI runs a free live scan on your actual idea right now and grades the score against 6,000+ ideas already analyzed (median 54, only 17.5% earn a go). Verdikt has no free tier at all as of August 2026: the one-page memo costs $14.99 and the only public sample is labeled illustrative with composed numbers, so you pay before you see anything on your own idea.
How much does Verdikt cost?
Verdikt's live pricing lists a single report at $14.99 and a Builder Pack of three ideas at $39.99 ($13.33 per report), both one-time, with a refund or re-run offered for documented report errors within fourteen days. When we last checked in June 2026 the single report was $49.99 and a free basic score existed; both changed before this August 2026 check. Preuve AI's core paid unlock, the Founder Report, is a $29 one-time purchase with 18 sections plus 3 pivots, and the scan before it is free.
Can I try Verdikt for free?
No. Verdikt's own FAQ answers "Is there a free tier?" with "No. Every verdict is a paid report." The one-page memo and its 40+ cited sources start at $14.99, and the published demo is an illustrative sample with composed numbers rather than a live result. Preuve AI's free scan runs on your real idea and returns a viability score, top risks, and 2 competitor previews with no card required.
Is Verdikt a GPT wrapper?
Verdikt states on its site that it is "not a GPT wrapper" and describes a five-stage pipeline: a researcher model plus a separate judge model, paid data sources, a 10x claim test, and a falsifier loop, with "14 quality gates" on its methodology page. Its pricing page discloses that reports run on OpenAI's GPT-5.4 family with Anthropic used for live web search. Preuve AI runs 10 agents across 7 model families against 60+ live sources. Neither product is a single-prompt wrapper.
Which tool is better for raising money?
Verdikt delivers a one-page memo, plus a build outline, stack options, and launch-channel notes when your score is 70 or higher; as of August 2026 it does not list dedicated investor deliverables. Preuve AI offers a $499 Investor Package with a pitch deck, investment memo, 18-month financial model, and competitive teardown built for due diligence.
