Plus: a ShipFit Verdict that sharpens with every stage (ship, pivot, or kill) and The Roast, brutally honest feedback that won't let you skip the hard questions.

What makes ShipFit different.

ChatGPT doesn't force the decisions that matter. It tells you your idea is great and moves on. A landing page tells you someone clicked. Neither is validation. Is there a market? Who's the buyer? What should you charge? What's the MVP? How do you launch? These are the decisions that determine whether your product lives or dies. ShipFit makes you answer all nine, in order. Each one builds on the last. Skip one, the next one breaks.

Decision Engine

It's not a chat. It's a process. 9 decisions, fixed sequence, no skipping. Every answer is contextual to your idea, your market, and your buyer.
