Why yOptions

Built for people who have an idea, not a research team.

You don't need to know the right prompts, market sizing methods, or competitor research tricks. Start with a plain-English description of your idea. yOptions does the structured review — real competitors, fetched pricing pages, cited market signals — and gives you a verdict you can act on.

A focused alternative to scattered AI prompts and Reddit threads.

Best for

Anyone deciding whether an idea deserves more time.

You have an idea but don’t know how crowded the market really is.

You want sharper questions to ask yourself before you build.

You’re comparing two directions and need a tiebreaker.

You want what already exists, not what you hope exists.

You need a verdict you can show your spouse, partner, or co-founder.

You’re a consultant, coach, or domain expert evaluating a new offer.

A “not yet” is still a useful answer. The report explains what would need to change for the idea to become more promising — so a negative verdict points to the next experiment, not a dead end.

How a Reality Check is run.

Three chapters. The depth of the research is the product. Speed varies; honesty doesn't.

01

You sharpen the idea.

One paragraph is enough. After you submit, we ask three pre-filled questions plus two tuned to your specific idea — the assumptions worth challenging before any research begins. Skip any you don't want.

INTAKETuned to your idea
02

We do the research.

Every competitor we cite is visited and their actual pricing page fetched. Every market number is tracked to its primary source — no Top-10 listicles, no LLM hallucinations. The draft passes an honesty audit before any verdict is approved for delivery.

DEPTHEvery claim cited
03

The verdict lands.

A permanent URL with your private report: a confidence score, a short honest preface, and five cards — the 60-second take, five competitors with real pricing, three cited market numbers, five hard questions, and the verdict with conditions that would change it.
