How planix thinks
On day 1, everything is an assumption.
Facts aren’t in your head – only out there. That’s why planix works in a cycle, not a checklist.
- 1Wish
You want to be your own boss. First ideas grow out of your experience, strengths and everyday life.
First ideas grow out of you.
- 2Hypothesis
Each idea is broken down into testable assumptions – sorted by risk.
Testable assumptions, sorted by risk.
- 3Test
planix tests the riskiest assumption first – against market data and simulated respondents.

Continue, adjust or next idea.
Good founders have clear hypotheses – and change them with data. That’s exactly what planix does with you.
The thinking error
How it works in detail Good ideas aren’t born in your head. They’re confirmed out there.
Startups don’t execute a business model – they search for one. First-time founders take these twelve statements for facts. planix turns them into tests.
What you can do, what you want – and what you can afford.

Honesty rules
Why you can trust planix.
- 1
planix doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. An idea that doesn’t hold gets a clear no – with reasons. That saves you months, not just money.
No sugar-coating. What doesn’t hold gets a clear no – with reasons.
- 2
Invented customers, competitors and figures are ruled out. Competitors come from named sources, answers from the test run. Market potential is shown as an estimate.
Zero inventions. Competitors only from verified sources.
- 3
Whatever is not backed up is marked as open in the report. Simulation shows direction and ranking – not market proof. Simulated figures are labelled.
Transparent gaps. What’s open is marked as open – simulated figures labelled.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Yes – that’s exactly what Find your business idea is made for. You describe what you can do, what you enjoy and how much time and money you want to put in. planix derives three business ideas from that, scores them and names the riskiest assumption for each idea.
No. Most ideas can be tested alongside your job – you can be employed and self-employed at the same time. Once your self-employed income passes £1,000 in a tax year, you register for Self Assessment with HMRC. You hand in your notice once an assumption is confirmed, not before.
Find your business idea is free: your founder profile, three matching ideas with scoring and the riskiest assumption for each idea. Develop the idea, also free, puts the chosen idea on one page – target customer, offer, calculation per sale and Business Model Canvas. Test the market (£99) tests one idea in the market: up to five tests with 30 simulated respondents each, real market data, a price range and a reasoned decision with a 30-day plan.
From your founder profile: experience, strengths, network, available time and capital, appetite for risk. Each idea is measured against it – and against the market. A good idea for someone else isn’t yet a good idea for you.
For any – self-employment just starts differently everywhere: in the trades with the first order, in consulting with the first client, in retail with the first purchase. For 14 industries, what counts first is set out individually.
