Idea Autopsy turns an idea into a pre-registered case file, then tests it against evidence designed to disprove it.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The workflow separates interpretation from investigation: the user can edit the extracted brief, approve assumptions, and sign the conditions before research starts. The displayed archive case tested an open-source PrintNode alternative against a $9 incumbent, zero- and one-star open-source projects, and free manufacturer bundling, then marked all three conditions met. The page also reports that seven models were compared on six ideas using a written violation rubric.
