Catalyst Pro: Intelligent Business Idea Validation & AI Co-Founder, simulates an investor's perspective to evaluate startup ideas and generate feasibility analyses

Catalyst Pro is an "AI co-founder" tool for entrepreneurs and independent developers, designed to solve the pain point of "a lot of ideas, but don't know which one is reliable" in the early stage of entrepreneurship. The platform utilizes advanced artificial intelligence models to simulate a real-world panel of expert advisors (including angel investors, product managers, market strategists, and other roles) to conduct an all-around "stress test" of the business ideas entered by users. Users only need to describe their product or service idea in simple language, and Catalyst Pro can quickly generate an in-depth evaluation report, including the strengths of the project, potential risks, market blind spots, and specific recommendations for improvement. It not only helps users avoid obvious business logic loopholes before investing real money, but also assists in polishing business models and turning vague inspirations into executable business plans. The platform supports multiple languages, including Chinese, and has an intuitive interface, making it suitable for technicians or first-time entrepreneurs without any business background.

Function List

• Business Creative Stress Test: Enter your business idea and the AI will simulate a tough investor's perspective to identify logic holes and market risks.
• Multi-dimensional expert feedback: The system has multiple built-in AI roles (e.g., financial expert, marketing guru, technical CTO) to give opinions on the same idea from different professional perspectives.
• Generating feasibility scoresThe "Chance of Survival" score is a quantitative score for your idea based on market demand, competitive barriers, and the ability to cash in on your idea.
• SWOT Intelligent Analysis: Automatically generate Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats charts at a glance.
• Action roadmap generationThis is not just about identifying problems, but also about providing concrete implementation advice on "what to do next", such as MVP (minimum viable product) development priorities or first user acquisition strategies.
• Business plan assistance: Organize fragmented ideas into clearly structured business documents, not only for self-checking, but also as drafts to present to others.
• History Management: Save all iterations of your idea to easily compare the pros and cons of different directions.

Using Help

Catalyst Pro is designed to be "zero-barrier", even if you don't understand complex business terminology. Below is a detailed walkthrough of the process:

1. Visits and registration

Open your browser to access https://catalyst-app.pro/Usually the site offers a free trial or free login to experience the basic functionality. Often sites offer a free trial or no sign-in to experience the basics, but it's recommended to create an account by clicking "Sign In" or "Get Started" in the upper right corner in order to keep a record of your creative history.

2. Entering the business idea (core step)

In the prominent input box on the home page, you need to describe your idea. To get the most accurate feedback, it is recommended to follow the "Problem-Solution-Target Users"The structure is described.

• operating skillDon't just write "I want to make an app like WeChat".
• Recommended writing style: Write "I want to develop a SaaS tool specialized in college club management to solve the current problem of confusing notification of club activities and opaque finances, and profit mainly by charging annual subscription fees to college clubs."
• Language Support: Although the interface may be in English, you can just type in a description in Chinese and the AI will fully understand and reply in either Chinese or English (depending on the settings).

3. Start-up analysis

Once the input is complete, click "Catalyst / Analyze"(Analyze) button. The system will go into processing, which can take a few tens of seconds as the big model is being called up in the background for multi-role reasoning and simulated debates.

4. Interpreting assessment reports

Once the analysis is complete, the page displays a detailed dashboard:

• Viability Score: Check the overall rating at the top (e.g. 75/100). A low score doesn't mean it can't be done, but it does mean it's extremely risky.
• Key InsightsRead the "Achilles' heel" and "core highlights" that the AI points out. For example, it may point out that your cash model is difficult to run early on.
• Persona Feedback: View specific comments from different AI characters.
  • Investor AI: It will focus on your market size and exit mechanism.
  • Tech Lead AI: Development difficulty and technical thresholds will be assessed.
  • Marketer AI: You will be asked how to get the first 1000 users.

5. Iteration and optimization

This is not a one-time process. Based on the feedback from the AI, you can modify the description of your idea.

• For example, if the AI states that "college students are weak in their ability to pay," you can change the description to "paid for by official school purchases" and click Analyze again.
• Use this process to keep polishing the idea until you find a business model that is logically self-contained.

6. Export and application

When your idea is polished and mature, you can use the export function of the page (if available) to copy the analysis and use it as the core material for writing your formal business plan (BP).

application scenario

1. Independent Developer Validation of Side Project
   Programmers want to develop a new tool over the weekend, but aren't sure if there's a market for it. Use Catalyst Pro to enter a functional vision, quickly determine whether it is a "pseudo-requirement" or a "real pain point", and avoid writing code for the sake of writing code, wasting development time.
2. Startup Team Brainstorming
   When the startup team is determining the direction of transformation, the members' opinions are not unified. Different transformation options can be entered into the system separately, and objective AI scoring and risk analysis can be utilized to assist the team in making rational decisions and reduce meaningless arguments.
3. Writing an outline for a financing roadshow
   Even if you've already decided to go ahead with a project, Catalyst Pro's "investor rebuttals" are excellent practice material. You can prepare your answers to these tough questions in advance, so that you'll be ready for the real roadshow.

   A: It is not recommended to send it directly, the report generated by the AI is a "checklist" for you to read, you should digest it and rewrite it into a formal business plan in your own words.
