I&#x27;ve been meaning to spin this into a full blog post, but here is the list of criteria that I use to evaluate new ideas:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9883697" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9883697</a><p>Naturally, then you need to do all the traditional market validation steps, but this at least filters your ideas down to ones that maybe stand a chance.
