Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Agent detect if a SaaS product is just a feature, not a full platform?
Yes — it checks for product scope, modularity, and independence to avoid mistaking a feature clone for a full offering.
What if the startup has very little traction?
The Agent focuses on clarity of problem, usability, and founder insight — not just early revenue or pilots.
Will it flag vague or overused language like 'AI-powered dashboard'?
Absolutely — it surfaces unclear positioning, generic copy, and missing differentiators.
Can the Agent handle niche SaaS plays?
Yes — it performs well with vertical SaaS, and even favors specific ICP clarity over 'boil the ocean' platforms.
Is this useful for pitch events filtering hundreds of SaaS entries?
Yes — it standardizes evaluation across many B2B categories with consistent scoring, helping organizers quickly surface top-fit startups.
