Vibe-research before you vibe-code.

Pitch your idea in a sentence. Verdikt generates a digital research report with a Verdikt Score, named risks, and dozens of cited sources before you build.

THE OUTPUT

Anatomy of a verdict.

A real memo, fully marked up. You'll know exactly what you get before you pay.

Pin down the claim.

A loose pitch becomes testable assumptions: buyer, price, wedge, and the evidence that would change your mind.

The Verdikt on Verdikt.

Three concerns founders raise about tools like this. Here's what we say back.

Not a wrapper
Just another GPT wrapper?

Five research steps. A real pipeline, not one big prompt.

Methodology
No training on payloads
What about my data?

We rely on our model vendors' standard API terms, accessed via the Vercel AI Gateway, under which API payloads are not used to train their models.

Provider clauses
Refund or re-run
What if it's wrong?

Every verdict names the risks, triggers, and pivot signals that would change the call. If we miss it, refund or re-run, your choice.
