Frequently Asked Questions
How are these 50 ideas selected?+
Every idea is sourced from live demand signals across 7 data layers: open job boards, regulatory filings, patent databases, VC funding announcements, product launch platforms, search trend data, and community forums. Ideas must show evidence of real buyer demand — not just theoretical market potential.
What does the Gaplyze Score mean?+
The Gaplyze Score (0-100) is a Gap Analysis & Demand Signal score. It measures the strength of the market opportunity based on real demand signals — job postings, regulatory filings, search trends, community pain points, VC activity, and competitive vacancy. A higher score means stronger demand signals and a wider market gap. It does NOT predict success — for a full success likelihood analysis, use the Dive In feature to generate a comprehensive execution report with a Success Rate Score.
Can I use these ideas to build a real product?+
Absolutely. That's the entire point. Each idea includes a concrete first validation step, target audience, TAM estimate, and competitive landscape. Use the Gaplyze Core Analysis Engine to generate a full execution roadmap for any idea that catches your eye.
How often is the report updated?+
We publish new editions quarterly. Market conditions, regulatory timelines, and competitive landscapes shift rapidly — especially in AI and RegTech. Each edition reflects the latest demand signals, not recycled insights from six months ago.
Is the full report really free?+
Yes. The complete 50-idea report is free with a Gaplyze account (no credit card required). We also offer a downloadable PDF version for offline reading and team sharing.
What makes this different from generic idea lists?+
Three things: (1) Every idea is scored by a structured methodology, not subjective opinion. (2) Each idea includes actionable data — TAM, competitors, difficulty, and a first step — not just a paragraph of hype. (3) The ideas are sourced from real demand signals, not brainstorming sessions.
