Hello, World of the AI Age

You've got an idea for something to build. Maybe it's been in your head for months. You haven't written a line of code — and in the AI age, you're not sure how much of it you'll need to. This is exactly the right moment to take the first step.

Before you spend anything on building, spend five minutes scanning the idea itself. The Idea Scan is a free, rubric-scored read of what to build first, what to leave out, and where your attention is worth most right now.

What is an Idea Scan?

Five minutes of input — your idea, your target user, the problem, what you've already tried — returns a buildability grade from A to D across six categories (Clarity, Scope, Realism, Uniqueness, Buildability, User Focus) and the three items most worth your attention. It grades whether the idea can be built well, not whether it will make money. Free forever, one per idea per email.

What if I have a great idea but haven't started?

Then this page is written for you. The Idea Scan gives you a grade and grade-tuned next steps. From there there are three doors: the first course if you want to learn the method, Marabot Idea's staged rollout if you want the week-by-week companion, or a paid Day-0 Plan if you want an hour with Mik before you commit a euro to construction. Pick whichever fits where you actually are.

Do you need to see my code?

No. The Idea Scan is about the idea, not the code — there is no code yet, and that is the point. Later, when there is code, the rule holds: no access to anything — not your repo, not your live app, not your database. We work with what you choose to send. Nothing else.

The Idea Scan isn't open yet — it opens as part of Marabot Idea's staged rollout. Join the waitlist below and you'll be first through when your stage opens. The first course and the Day-0 Plan are open in parallel; whichever door fits you best, take it.
