About PMF Signal
PMF Signal generates a 16-section research report on a single business idea, judged against the user’s budget, available hours, revenue goals, and five skill axes. The report includes live web research, verbatim sources with links, and a final verdict of BUILD, PIVOT, or PASS. Each claim in the report is required to carry a source, and unsourced claims are excluded or labeled as assumptions. The verdict is determined by independent scoring of pain, timing, market ceiling, and founder fit before the prose is written. Reports are delivered via email within about 15 minutes of submission. The tool is designed for solo founders and evaluates ideas against the user’s specific constraints rather than a generic rubric. It does not provide ongoing subscriptions but charges a one-time fee per report.
