Honest questions
The stuff Gemini builders actually ask before paying $5.
Frequently asked questions
Can't I just describe my idea to Gemini directly?
You can, and Gemini will build it. The problem is Gemini will build anything. It doesn't tell you the idea has no buyer, the pricing is wrong, the scope is bloated or the launch channel for this audience is paid not organic. ShipFit decides those nine things first so Gemini builds the right thing, not just the next thing.
Do I still need my Gemini subscription?
Yes. ShipFit isn't a builder. It's the step before. ShipFit decides what to build. Gemini builds it. The two are complementary, not competing. ShipFit's stage-9 export drops straight into Gemini prompt.
Will this work with my existing Gemini project?
Yes. The Gemini-optimised export from stage 9 is a structured spec: buyer persona, MVP scope, pricing tier, success metrics, tone of voice. Paste it as a new Gemini prompt entry to start a fresh build, or as context inside an existing project to refocus what you're shipping.
Why pay for ShipFit if Gemini is already paid?
Because building the wrong thing on Gemini costs more than $5. Three months of perfectly-built code for a product nobody wants is the expensive outcome. ShipFit's $5 Quick Take returns a Ship / Pivot / Kill verdict in 2 minutes against live data. 24% of ideas get killed before they reach a build cycle.
What happens if ShipFit kills my idea?
You saved a Gemini build cycle. That's the feature, not the bug. The Quick Take verdict comes with a Why — which decision broke down (no buyer? no pricing room? no differentiation?). You either iterate on the idea or pick a stronger one. Either way, $5 buys you a forced conversation with the data before you spend three months building.
What if I've never used Gemini before?
Run ShipFit first anyway. The 9-stage playbook plus the Gemini-optimised export is the cleanest way to start your first Gemini project. Decide what to build, then sign up for Gemini, paste the spec into Gemini prompt, and let Gemini do the building.
