The job
Picking between siblings on gut feel costs founders 12 months they don't get back.
Comparison gives you a shared frame: same dimensions, same scale, same definitions. The strongest candidate stops being the loudest one in the room and starts being the one the evidence actually backs.
You bring
- Two or more scored idea candidates
- A portfolio you're trying to narrow down
- Sibling framings you can't decide between
Gaplyze creates
- A side-by-side view grouped by score band
- Dimension-level deltas (where each idea wins or loses)
- A defensible pick — with the reasoning your co-founder can audit
The real surface
Your whole portfolio, ranked on one board.
The actual comparison workspace — candidates grouped by score band, the by-the-numbers view, and the deltas that decide which idea you back. Open it and scroll the whole thing.
Decision unlocked
You leave with a defensible pick, not a list of contenders.
See the score gap between the closest contenders — not just the winner
Spot which dimension actually moves the ranking (and which is noise)
Move from a portfolio of maybes to one bet you're willing to defend
Where it fits
After refinement, before you commit to scoring deeper.

Comparison is where refinement work pays off — you stop asking "is this idea good?" and start asking "is this idea the best of my candidates?"

FAQ
Comparison questions answered.
How does Idea Comparison decide which idea is best?
Comparison doesn't decide for you — it lines up each candidate against the same scoring dimensions so you can see strengths, gaps, and trade-offs side by side. You decide which one to back; the comparison removes the guesswork.
What's the difference between sibling comparison and portfolio comparison?
Sibling comparison stacks variants of the same idea — different framings, different customers, different outcomes. Portfolio comparison stacks distinct ideas you're choosing between for your next 12 months. Gaplyze supports both in the same workspace.
How many ideas can I compare at once?
Compare as many as you have scored — the comparison view groups them by score band (high / moderate / low) so a portfolio of 4 or 14 stays readable.
Do compared ideas get scored automatically?
No. Scoring is always an explicit step you control. Comparison surfaces ideas that already carry a score — anything unscored shows up flagged so you can score it before ranking the portfolio.
Can I re-compare after refining an idea?
Yes. Refinement produces a new candidate; that candidate enters the comparison view alongside the original. You see the score lift (or drop) from the refinement directly in the same grid.
Are the ideas I compare private?
Yes. Every idea, score, and comparison view sits in your private workspace. Nothing is published or shared unless you explicitly export it.
Stop debating siblings. Compare them.
Line up your candidates on the same dimensions — pick the bet you'll defend to investors, co-founders, and your future self.
