$29 · Honest verdict in under 5 min·Cited. Calibrated. Probably-not when it's probably-not.

Tell me your idea.
I'll give you a hard reason to say yes or no.

ChatGPT cheerleads. Friends won't tell you the truth. Reddit has no signal. yOptions is an analysis team that returns one cited verdict — with a confidence number, the conditions that flip it, and (when warranted) a "probably not, but try this instead."

Built to challenge weak ideas, not flatter them.

How a Reality Check is run.

Three numbered chapters. No spinner. The wait is the experience — you can watch the research happen.

01

You sharpen the idea.

One text box, no login. After you submit, we ask three pre-filled questions plus two AI-generated ones based on your specific idea. Skip what you don't want.

STEP DURATION~30 seconds
02

You watch the research.

A live transcript narrates real moves: "Searching the market… Found 14 competitors… Reading their pricing pages… Synthesizing the verdict." No spinner. Cards land as agents finish, lowest-stakes first.

WALL TIME · MEDIAN90 seconds
03

The verdict reveals.

Confidence number (a real percentage, never round) ticks up to its calibrated value. The honesty preface lands first. Five cards fill in: the take, the competitors, the numbers, the questions, the verdict you can show your spouse.
