Describe the idea
Name the buyer, the problem, and what you would sell. Plain English is enough.
Decide what an idea has earned before you build it.
Killgate organizes public evidence and real buyer proof around one clear business idea, then helps you choose the next responsible action.
HOW KILLGATE WORKS
Turn one idea into an evidence-based decision.
Killgate is for founders and operators who want to learn whether an idea is worth more time and money before they build it.
See the test plan
Killgate turns the idea into a locked question and shows what evidence must be collected before you spend on research.
Check public reality
If you choose live research, you receive a plain-language report with relevant public evidence, cautions, and source links.
Prove it with buyers
Use your Outreach Battlepack to start buyer conversations, record what real buyers say and commit to, then decide whether to build, keep testing, change direction, or stop.
What Killgate does not do: it does not guarantee success, invent customer opinions, or treat web research as proof that people will buy.
A public-evidence pass means the idea is worth calling real buyers. It is not permission to build. The customer-voice target (30 posts from 15 people in 3 communities) is progress guidance, not an extra pass or build rule.
The Outreach Battlepack: know exactly what to say to buyers.
When public research says an idea is worth testing with buyers, Killgate hands you a ready-to-use kit for those first conversations, built from the research on your idea.
Conversation openers
Opening lines to reach the people who own the problem, written for your buyer.
Interview questions
Questions about what buyers actually did, not what they might do, so polite answers don't fool you.
Research signals with sources
The claims public evidence backed up, each linked to its source, so you know what to ask about.
Cost-of-the-problem estimate
Enter the hours and hourly cost buyers tell you, and see what the problem costs them each month.
Call tracker
Progress toward 10 real buyer conversations, updated every time you record one.
The Battlepack helps you start buyer conversations. It is not proof of demand, and it never authorizes a build on its own. If research does not support outreach yet, Killgate tells you what evidence is missing instead.
A decision trail you can inspect.
- A locked validation plan before research begins.
- An optional public-research report with supporting evidence, caution signals, and source links.
- An Outreach Battlepack when research supports buyer calls: openers, interview questions, source-linked signals, a cost-of-the-problem estimate, and a call tracker.
- A private record of evidence, corrections, commitments, and decisions.
- A clear recommendation: build, keep testing, change direction, or stop.
Killgate shows the evidence and reasons you need to understand a result. Its private analysis instructions, source-screening methods, and service safeguards stay on the server.

Common questions about Killgate
What does Killgate do?
Killgate organizes public evidence and real buyer proof around one clear business idea, then helps you choose the next responsible action: build, keep testing, change direction, or stop.
How is Idea Validation different from Market Research Studio?
Idea Validation decides whether an idea has earned more investment, buyer testing, a change in direction, or a stop. Market Research Studio is a separate product that investigates one market or product decision and produces a dated, source-linked packet. Studio never issues an Idea Validation BUILD decision, and each product has its own packages.
What do I receive from an Idea Validation run?
A locked validation plan before research begins, an optional public-research report with supporting evidence, caution signals, and source links, an Outreach Battlepack when research supports buyer calls, a private record of evidence, corrections, commitments, and decisions, and a clear recommendation.
Where do I buy Idea Validation?
Purchases use Google Play in the Killgate app installed from Google Play. You can compare prices and prepare your idea in the browser first.
Idea Validation is not Market Research Studio.
If you need a market-decision packet instead of a build decision, open Studio. If you need commercial terms, compare both products on pricing.
