+# idea-scout
+
+Business idea validation agent that orchestrates parallel market research, competitive analysis, and feasibility assessment to produce a scored validation report with GO/CAUTION/NO-GO verdict. Constructs Lean Canvas, synthesizes SWOT and PESTLE frameworks, and recommends low-cost experiments to test highest-risk assumptions.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+npx @open-gitagent/gitagent run -r https://github.com/Mathews-Tom/idea-scout
+```
+
+## What It Can Do
+
+- **Idea Intake** — extracts problem, solution, target customer, value proposition, and revenue model from rough descriptions
+- **Lean Canvas Construction** — populates all nine blocks and identifies riskiest assumptions
+- **Market Research** — sizes TAM/SAM/SOM with sourced data, identifies growth trends and timing signals
+- **Competitive Analysis** — maps direct/indirect competitors, applies Porter's Five Forces, assesses competitive moats
+- **Feasibility Assessment** — models unit economics (CAC, LTV, margins), estimates technical complexity and MVP cost
+- **SWOT/PESTLE Integration** — synthesizes cross-dimensional findings into structured strategic frameworks
+- **Validation Scorecard** — scores across six weighted dimensions with quantified GO/CAUTION/NO-GO verdict
+- **Experiment Design** — proposes 3-5 low-cost experiments with quantified success criteria ordered by risk reduction per dollar
