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