Kill bad ideas fast.
Make good ideas win.
ShipFit is the 9-stage decision system that turns vague startup ideas into ship-ready playbooks. With pricing strategy, GTM playbook, and behavioral proof before you write code.
Our Mission
Most startups fail not because they can't build. But because they build the wrong thing. We created ShipFit to help founders make better decisions before they write a single line of code.
By combining 50+ years of startup wisdom with AI-powered analysis, ShipFit guides you through the critical questions every founder should answer: Is it worth building? Who pays? What hurts? How do you win? What's v1? How do you charge? Will they pay? How do you launch? What do you export?
Built by Sapionic
ShipFit is a product of Sapionic.io , an AI transformation consultancy that combines strategic planning with hands-on technical implementation.
ShipFit was built using the 3S Framework , created by Xavier Vallée. An AI transformation methodology focused on Speed, Scale, and Skills to deliver business impact through intelligent automation.
ShipFit was born from the realization that early-stage founders need the same rigorous validation process that enterprise companies use. But faster, cheaper, and without the consultants.
Who builds this
Xavier Vallée
Founder of ShipFit. AI transformation consultant at Sapionic.
Xavier has spent 25 years launching commercial products and running P&Ls up to $500m. He now runs Sapionic, the AI transformation consultancy behind ShipFit, and is the author of the 3S Framework (Speed, Scale, Skills), the methodology Sapionic uses to take AI work from pilot to production and the one ShipFit was built with.
ShipFit exists because none of that stopped him building side projects nobody wanted. He built plenty, without doing the work of deciding whether they were worth building first. The nine decisions this product forces are the ones he skipped.
He writes every framework, glossary, guide and comparison page on this site.
