# ShipFit

> ShipFit is the pre-code decision engine for founders. It forces 9 critical decisions—market, buyer, problem, positioning, MVP scope, pricing, validation, launch, and export—before a single line of code is written. Every answer is backed by a proven framework (The Mom Test, Van Westendorp, Jobs-to-be-Done, 7 Powers, Blue Ocean, Superhuman PMF Engine, ICE scoring) and delivered with the voice of a veteran operator: brutally honest, decision-forcing, no chat fatigue. Output is a ship-ready playbook exportable to Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and any PRD workflow.

**Positioning:** unlike AI co-founders that help you explore and chat, ShipFit gives answers—what's broken, what's worth building, and exactly what to do next.

**ICP:** indie developers, solo founders, first-time founders, and small startup teams who've wasted months building things nobody wanted.

**Pricing:** free tier (3 credits/month), paid plans from $5. See https://app.shipfit.ai/pricing.

**Founder:** Xavier Vallee.
