Is DimeADozen the right fit for your idea?
A research-backed validation report works best when the fit-shape matches. The sections below describe who the report is built for. If you're not happy with your report, our 14-day money-back guarantee has you covered (see below).
Built for
Early-stage founders stress-testing whether to build — pre-fundraise, pre-write-a-line-of-code, pre-commit. The live question is "should I actually build this?" — and the report gives you the evidence to answer it yourself, not a pitch deck or business plan.
We cite specific public-data sources from US, UK, and AU markets — comparable-company SEC filings, FTC/regulatory disclosures, census + zip-code economics, public earnings calls. Our depth comes from that sourcing — see the validation standard we hold every report to.
Best fit: tech-startup ideas where the primary market is English-speaking + the decision is pre-build.

Not the right fit if
- You're scaling an established business five years or more in operation. A different decision from pre-build validation; we'd be telling you what you already know.
- You're in a non-tech specialty vertical (specialty agri-food B2B, regional artisanal trades, niche hardware) where US/UK/AU comp-sets miss your actual market context.
- Your primary market is non-English-speaking — regional or emerging markets where we don't have the same depth on local public-data sources.
- You're building B2B EdTech school-management SaaS or similar enterprise verticals. The report is built for consumer + early-stage tech-startup decisions; B2B-enterprise validation is a different shape.
If your idea fits, stress-test the idea before the market does. Pick a tier above.

Which tier is right for me?
The decision is mostly about how many ideas you're stress-testing.
- Solo (Free)
- Early exploration. Free preview. No subscription required. Generate a preview of the report shape on any idea, no payment required. Right tier if you're curious but not yet committed to a specific concept.
- Entrepreneur ($129 USD)
- One specific idea you're considering building. $129 once. No subscription. Credits don't expire. 1 credit = 1 full validation report. Right tier if you've got one specific idea you're considering building, and want a structured read on whether the market signals are there before you commit.
- 3-Pack ($179 USD)
- Multiple variants or weighing a pivot. $179 once. No subscription. 3 credits, no expiry. Three full reports lets you stress-test the original premise and two adjacent variations side-by-side. Saves $208 vs three single-shots.
- For agencies
- Agencies and consultants: if you deliver research to clients, CustomReport, from the same team, puts reports under your firm's logo and colors on paid plans; the first-section preview is free. Validating several ideas of your own? The 3-Pack is built for that.

How much does DimeADozen.AI cost?

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.
