No real problem
Nobody needs it urgently enough.
People like the idea – but the problem is too small, too rare or long since solved.
From wish to an idea
that really holds.

2What gets tested?
Three reasons
Why the move into self-employment fails.
Not for lack of courage. Because of three assumptions nobody tested. planix breaks every idea down into hypotheses on exactly these three risks.
No fit with you
The idea doesn’t fit your life.
Too much capital, too much time, the wrong skills – or you don’t want to do it every day.
No viable model
Not enough money comes in.
Customers pay too little, a customer costs too much, or the business can’t be repeated.
Risk matrix
Not a list – an order.
Each assumption is placed by risk and uncertainty.High risk with high uncertainty is tested first.
Enhanced regulatory analysis switches on automatically for finance, crypto, health, pharma, food, care, energy and the public sector – and for sensitive personal data.
3What does planix test with?
Test the market
Methods established in market research.
From Test the market: 13 scientifically proven methods, combined with official market data – planix picks the right ones for your riskiest assumption.
Is there any need at all – and who is most likely to buy?
Deliberately limited: click behaviour and lab tests on a physical product are not included.
Real-time market data
Real sources, not just AI model knowledge.
From connected specialist data sources and live research. Competitors always named and with sources – or a clear “not found”.

Go mit Bedingungen
Zum geplanten Preis sind 17 von 30 kaufbereit, simuliert. Bedingung ist eine Rücknahme der Gläser, die dem Büro keine Arbeit macht.
The chapters of your market test
Core assumptions backed up. Next step: check funding options.
The direction is right, individual assumptions need stronger evidence – doable alongside your job.
Adjust offer, segment, price or message and test again.
A load-bearing assumption is disproven – change segment or problem, test idea 2.
No solid signal. Stopping is free now – later it costs months.
Evidence levels
Not all evidence counts the same.
This is how you classify evidence. Simulated results are always labelled as simulated in the report.
- AssumptionA guess without evidence
- User statementYour own assessment
- SimulatedSimulated target personas, labelled
- Customer feedbackInterviews, surveys, community
- Observed behaviourClicks, conversion, usage
- Paying customersPre-orders, sales
