What Preuve AI is
Preuve AI is a pre-build validation tool for startup and business ideas. You describe an idea. 10 AI agents scan 60+ live sources in parallel. The report ends on a verdict with a viability score from 0 to 100. Every sourced claim links to its source, and estimates are labeled as estimates.

What Preuve AI is not
- Not an opinion generator. Reports are built from live sources retrieved at scan time, not from a model's training data.
- Not a monitoring subscription. For founders, every report is a one-time purchase and yours to keep. A Founder Report includes 3 months of Preuve Sentinel, which reruns it monthly and emails you when a new competitor appears. It never renews or charges automatically.
- Not a human review. No human reads your idea to score it. Scoring is 100% AI. The one opt-in exception is the Investor-Ready Package, where you hire the founder to build your deck and memo from your own report.
- Not a success guarantee. The score is a model assessment of the evidence, not a probability that the startup will succeed.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does Preuve AI cost?
- In most countries, the Reality Check is free. A Founder Report is $59 one-time. Packs cost $89 for 2 Founder Reports, $199 for 5 Founder Reports and $349 for 10 Founder Reports. The Investor-Ready Package is $499 one-time.
- Is Preuve AI free?
- In most countries, yes. The Reality Check is free and needs no card. In about 60 seconds it returns a viability score from 0 to 100 with a verdict, a market size read, 2 competitor previews and the main blockers. The full 21-section Founder Report is paid. In South Asia and most of Africa, scans start with Starter Pro, a one-time regional offer.
- Is Preuve AI a subscription?
- For founders, no. Every report is a one-time purchase and yours to keep. A Founder Report includes 3 months of Preuve Sentinel, which never renews or charges automatically. Lifetime plans are also a single payment, with no renewal. The white-label consultant workspace opens once for $99 and then runs on prepaid reports, with no subscription. Only the Program plan for agencies and accelerators is monthly.
- What is Preuve Sentinel?
- Preuve Sentinel reruns the full analysis of one idea at day 30, 60 and 90 and emails you after each run, new competitors first. Every Founder Report bought from 1 October 2026 includes 3 months of it, counted from the day you activate it. Every run is kept as a dated version. Nothing renews or is charged automatically.
- What is the Buyer Panel?
- Every paid report includes a Buyer Panel: 50 simulated buyers, drawn from the report's own buyer segments, read your offer and say whether they would buy, why they pass, what would change their mind, and what price feels too cheap or too expensive. They are simulated buyers, not real people, so read the buy count as an upper bound. One run is included per report, shared with its edits and pivots; each later run costs 20 credits. From their objections, Preuve builds an offer without touching your price, then asks the same 50 buyers again.
- Does Preuve AI have a white-label plan?
- Yes. The consultant workspace opens once for $99, with a commercial license and the first client project included, then each client project uses one prepaid report: $59 for 1 report, $89 for 2 reports, $199 for 5 reports, $349 for 10 reports. Program, for agencies, accelerators and portfolios running 30+ client projects a month, is set up on request at support@preuve.ai, with 30 client projects a month plus an Enterprise API.
- How long does a Preuve AI report take?
- The free Reality Check takes about 60 seconds. A paid Founder Report takes about ten minutes, because 10 AI agents search 60+ live sources in parallel before anything is scored.
- Does a human read my idea?
- No human reads your idea to score it. Scoring is 100% AI, and the AI providers Preuve AI uses do not train on your data. The one exception is opt-in. With the $499 Investor-Ready Package, you hire the founder to build your pitch deck and memo from your own report.
- What does the Investor-Ready Package include?
- A custom pitch deck, a 4-page investment memo with source-linked claims, an 18-month financial model with validated unit economics, a due diligence checklist and investor Q&A prep. It costs $499 one-time. It is founder-built and reviewed, starting from your own Founder Report.
