Shipfit.ai
ShipFit is an idea-to-playbook engine that guides users through nine sequential decisions to transform a vague product concept into a validated, launch-ready plan. It combines market data from sources like Trustpilot, G2, and Reddit with established startup frameworks such as the Mom Test, Jobs-to-be-Done, and 7 Powers to inform each step. The process covers market validation, buyer identification, pain ranking, competitive positioning, MVP scoping, pricing architecture, demand proofing, launch planning, and export of development configuration files. Users start with a single problem statement and receive data-backed outputs including a market verdict, buyer persona, prioritized pain list, positioning strategy, MVP feature lists, pricing tiers, demand test kits, launch playbooks, and code generation context for tools like Cursor and Claude Code. The system is designed to kill bad ideas early, with the company claiming 24% of ideas are rejected through the process, saving founders months of wasted effort.

Problem solved
ShipFit solves the problem of unstructured, guesswork-based product ideation by providing a forced, data-driven decision process that validates business ideas before significant resources are invested. It prevents entrepreneurs from building products without clear market, buyer, pricing, and launch strategies.

- Scoping MVP features for a mobile app
