Fluenta helps solo founders and small teams validate startup ideas against real market signals instead of gut-feel. This quickstart gets you from signup to your first data-backed validation report in under 10 minutes.

1. Create an account

Head to /register and sign up with email or Google. The free tier includes 2,000 credits and limited previews of this week's ideas — enough to explore the product without a card.

2. Explore this week's ideas

Open this week's ideas to see the latest scored ideas. Each card shows:

  • Launch Readiness Score (LRS) — 0–100, how ready the idea is to launch right now
  • Signal breakdown — demand, pain, competition, monetization, funding, urgency
  • Source trail — which of the 200+ scouting sources surfaced this idea and which of the 25 live integrations verified it

Filter by tags like "Solo Founder Ready", "7-Day MVP", or "Fastest to First $" to match your constraints.

3. Run your first Idea X-Ray

When you have an idea of your own, run it through Idea X-Ray. You'll describe the idea in one paragraph, and Fluenta will execute the full validation pipeline across all 25 live integrations.

Important: an X-Ray takes roughly 40+ minutes to run because we actually hit every integration — this is not a 90-second AI summary. You'll get an email when your report is ready. One X-Ray costs ~2,000 credits (included in every paid plan, or available via a $19 Extended pass).

4. Read your report

Your X-Ray report includes:

  1. The LRS verdict — prime launch, promising, experimental, or weak signal
  2. The six signal dimensions — each with raw evidence from the integrations
  3. Closest competitors — pulled from Crunchbase, Product Hunt, and search
  4. Monetization benchmarks — what similar products charge
  5. Risk flags — anything in the data that suggests you'd struggle

5. Decide what to do next

The goal is a decision, not another tab. Every report ends with a recommendation: launch, iterate, pivot, or kill. Trust the data, not the sunk cost.
