Service · Idea check
What's in your idea?
Before money goes into development, it's worth taking an honest look: Does the idea solve a real problem? For whom? And what would a sensible first step be?
- An early idea is enough
- Personal review – no automated score
- Your idea stays confidential
AI first assessment
A first assessment in one minute.
Describe your app idea. KAI, the Kraken Artificial Intelligence, creates a structured first assessment covering audience, value, risks and next validation steps.
When the idea check helps
Three moments people come to us.
“I have an idea.”
You see the opportunity but not the way there. You want to know whether it's worth pursuing – and what to start with.
“I'm about to build.”
You're collecting offers or planning a budget and want a second opinion on scope and priorities first.
“I'm not sure who needs it.”
The idea is clear, but the audience and the actual value are not yet.
What we look at
Six questions we ask about every idea.
Problem
What exactly is difficult, slow or impossible today – and how is it solved so far?
Audience
Who has the problem, how often, and who decides on usage?
Value
What gets better for users – and why would they switch?
Market & alternatives
Which solutions already exist, and what would make yours different?
Feasibility
What is technically realistic, which data and interfaces are needed?
First version
Which core function delivers value on its own – and what can wait?
Process
From submission to feedback.
Submit
You describe your idea in the form – three short steps, only name, email and description are required.
You receive a confirmation that your submission was saved.
Personal review
Krakenwerk reads your submission personally and looks at it along the six questions.
No automated instant analysis.
Follow-up questions
Where something is unclear, we ask by email – or suggest a short conversation.
Only if needed.
Feedback
You receive individual feedback with our assessment and concrete next steps.
What you do with it is entirely up to you.
Result
What our feedback can contain.
Sometimes the honest recommendation is: don't build yet, test first. That's a good result too.
Honest assessment
Strengths, weak points and open questions of the idea – clearly worded.
Suggestion for a first scope
Which features belong in a first version and which don't yet.
Possible way of implementation
Web app, mobile app, prototype, existing tool – or first validate without software.
Next steps
What you can clarify, test or prepare next.
Example
This is what a submission can look like
Fictitious example to illustrate the level of detail – not a real project.
- Working title
- Pool booking for a diving club
- The problem
- Pool times are allocated via a group chat; nobody knows who is coming, equipment is missing.
- Who has it
- Around 60 club members and 4 trainers; training twice a week.
- Idea
- An app in which members book slots, trainers see participants and lending equipment is reserved.
- What exists
- A spreadsheet with members and a WhatsApp group.
- Open questions
- Do members need an app or is a web page enough? How do payments for guests work?
Fictitious example. Two or three sentences are also enough for a submission.
