Features

AI Business Advisors, Anytime, Anywhere.

We understand the aspirations and challenges of individuals like you, caught between stable careers and the dream of entrepreneurship. We recognize your potential and are here to empower your journey.

Research-Backed Validation

A research-backed validation report on any idea: the first sections arrive in minutes; the full report can take longer. Sourced data + named comp-set + retention benchmarks, source-linked — not training-data paraphrase. Pre-build-flaggable signals before you write a line of code.

Weeks of Desk Research, Replaced

DimeADozen replaces weeks of desk research and gut-feel decisions with a structured read on whether an idea has legs — before you write a line of code or raise a dollar.

Pre-Pivot Retention Check

Pivoting? Check your projected retention against the comp-set's benchmarks, taken from S-1s and 10-Ks where they disclose it — the gap between your model and the comparables is the finding.

Named Comp-Set

Sourced data + named comp-set + retention benchmarks. Specific companies, specific retention bands, source-linked so you can check every comp yourself before you commit.

Cohort-Fit

Cohort fit. Where public filings disclose customer acquisition and retention, the report benchmarks the comp-set, so you can test whether your projections sit inside the band those companies achieved — or outside it.

Depth at Scale

Multi-market validation: cohort retention bands by geography + capex-per-city + density-economics. Same depth-discipline the standard report uses — applied to scale-stage decisions.

What DimeADozen.AI isn't

Built for one decision: should you build this?

We don't produce bank-ready business plan documents for SBA applications. We don't walk you through a pre-filled template for a lender.

We validate ideas. If your next decision is “should I build this,” we're the tool. If your next decision is “I need a formatted lender doc,” use a template tool built for that job instead.

Frequently asked questions

Need help? Contact our customer support team for assistance.

How do I get my first report?

Get started with a $9 Starter Report — 7-section focused read. Upgrade that same report to the full $129 report anytime.

What should I input for a business idea?

For optimal results, provide a detailed description including key criteria and any pertinent context. The more specific the details, the more accurate the outcome.

Is my idea kept confidential?

Your report isn’t listed or shown to other users; anyone you share its link with can open it. How we use and share personal data, including with payment, email, analytics and advertising providers, is set out in our privacy policy, along with how to opt out and request deletion.

Does this produce a business plan I can submit to a bank or SBA lender?

No. Our report is a validation read — market sizing, competitive landscape, and risk flags. It's what you review before deciding whether to build the idea. If you're past validation and need a formatted lender document (SBA-specific sections, lender-approved templates, your own line-by-line financial projections), use a template tool built for that job instead.

Can I get a report for a specific market?

Certainly. When submitting your business idea, be sure to specify the market of interest, and the validation read will be tailored to that market.
