The evidence-backed decision system for founders
Put your business idea on trial.
Wardict puts your idea before the Warden, a strict, evidence-led judge that identifies the assumption most likely to kill it, turns that uncertainty into a real-world test, and helps you decide whether to proceed, pivot, or close the case, before it costs you a year, your savings, and your reputation.
Over 120 business ideas put on trial
Case Filing
What are you thinking of building?
Tell the Warden who it is for, the problem, what they use today, and how you will reach them.
The complete loop
From an unproven idea to a decision you can defend.
Wardict does not stop at a score. It identifies the critical uncertainty, turns it into an experiment, records what happens, and tells you when the evidence is strong enough to proceed, or weak enough to walk away.

The burden of proof
Every idea enters with five charges to answer.
A promising idea is not one that sounds clever. It is one that can produce credible evidence across five dimensions.
The Wardict Score
Five dimensions, each scored 1 to 20, summed to a 0 to 100 verdict.
Will people act, pay, or change behaviour, or merely say the idea sounds useful?
1 to 20Who feels the pain, who controls the budget, and what creates urgency now?
1 to 20Can you reach enough qualified buyers without relying on hope, virality, or an imaginary audience?
1 to 20Why will someone choose this instead of the product, workaround, or habit they already use?
1 to 20Can this founder deliver the promise before time, cash, or complexity closes the case?
1 to 20Every verdict also carries
The brutal truth and the fix, a SWOT read, a Buyer Power Map, conditional outcomes, and an Evidence Log of cited sources. Where the research supports it, a grounded market size and real community signal.

Why this is not another prompt
A better standard, not merely a better answer.
A flattering chatbot hands everyone a different answer with no standard behind it. A verdict has to be accountable to something.
A published rubric
Every case is scored against the same versioned standard, so verdicts stay explainable and comparable.
Read the rubricEvidence, kept apart from assumption
The Evidence Log cites real sources, kept distinct from the Warden's inferences, so a claim with a citation is never dressed up the same as a judgement call.
A growing outcome record
Experiments, evidence, and final decisions build a record of what happened after the opening verdict.
Better foundation models make the Warden sharper. The methodology, the case record, and the outcome loop are what make Wardict useful.
Disputed and sampled rulings can be reviewed to identify recurring blind spots in the methodology.
The case continues
The free verdict tells you where the case stands. The Full Report tells you what to prove next.
Turn the riskiest assumption into a test, launch it, capture the evidence, and return for a final disposition.
Build the test
A focused experiment with a proceed and kill threshold, a landing-page brief, and the launch assets to go with it.
Capture the evidence
A hosted demand page, traffic and conversion tracking, and real email leads, attributed by source.
File the decision
An evidence-backed proceed, pivot, or kill, with any score movement shown against the opening ruling.

Frequently asked questions
What is Wardict?
Wardict is an evidence-backed decision system for founders. You plead your case, the Warden scores it against a published standard, identifies what remains unproven, and orders the next experiment. As evidence arrives, Wardict helps you decide whether to proceed, pivot, or close the case.
Who is Wardict for?
Wardict is built for first-time founders, indie hackers, side-project builders, serial experimenters, accelerator applicants, and corporate innovators who need a fast, unbiased read on a business idea before committing serious time, money, or reputation.
How is Wardict different from asking ChatGPT?
General chat is flexible, but inconsistent. Wardict scores every case against a published, versioned rubric, separates cited evidence from assumption, and turns the riskiest assumption into a real-world test. The point is not an opinion. The point is a comparable case file you can revisit, share, and argue with.
How is Wardict different from an AI builder like Lovable or Bolt?
AI builders help you make the artifact. Wardict defines what the artifact must prove. Only Wardict-tracked evidence is automatically scored.
What is included in the free version?
The free version gives you three verdicts per day. It includes the core verdict breakdown, scoring, SWOT, market and competitor analysis, evidence log, Buyer Power Map, conditional outcomes, and other key sections.
Closing argument
The market will judge your idea eventually.
Wardict does it before the invoice gets ugly.
Find the assumption that matters, gather the evidence, and make the decision before sunk cost makes it for you.
