Methodology · Sources
Preuve AI doesn't rate your idea from training data. Ten agents pull live evidence from 100+ recurring publications across 10 source categories. Every claim in your report links back to one.

Validation runs as a multi-agent pipeline. Each agent owns a domain (competitors, market, sentiment) and is allowed to call only the source families relevant to its job. The verdict is the convergence point - not a single LLM's opinion.
Competitors, market sizing, demand signals, community sentiment. Each agent owns its slice.
When runs disagree, the verdict reruns until two models agree.
No number in a report without a source URL behind it. You can fact-check every line.
The Preuve AI Score is a single 0-100 viability rating. Each idea is scored on six factors, every one checked against the same 50+ live sources with a source link on every claim, then cross-checked across models. The weighting is calibrated against thousands of scored ideas so the number stays honest: only about 18.3% reach launch-ready (70+), where most AI validators cluster at 75-85.
Bottom-up TAM/SAM/SOM and whether the market is expanding or shrinking, sized from market-research and funding sources.
Whether people actively search for, complain about, or pay to solve this, read from community and search sources, not a hunch.
How crowded the space is and whether incumbents already solve it well, mapped from real competitors with funding and pricing.
How easily the idea is copied, and whether anything (distribution, data, timing) makes it defensible.
Whether the unit economics can work: pricing power, acquisition cost reality, and a path to margin.
Legal, compliance, and operational blockers that quietly kill ideas, flagged from filings and regional sources.
The exact weights and thresholds are proprietary and stay unpublished. What is not proprietary, and what most tools skip: every factor is scored against live, cited evidence you can click and check yourself.
