common ideation failures
don't start without a problem
don't go over tarpit ideas, they from possible but is
note tarpit ideas are ideas that seem easy to solve, but really are near impossible to solve, which is why they haven't been solved yet.
don't wait for the perfect idea (perfect ideas don't exist)

how to evaluate your idea
note this section contains accordian/dropdown questions, the dropdown menus open to show how to answer these
good things to notice in your ideas
does it have a hard barrier of entry or is it a very boring market? if yes you will have less competition (good for you)
if you have any existing competitors then it probably means your idea rules the market 👑
is your idea organic? if yes it is probably one of the coolest ones out there
if your idea is not perfect but it is in a very fertile market (in need of a lot of innovation) you will find a lot of issues to fix, and you could pivot your idea to fixing those issues
