Before you write the PRD, find out who’s already shipping it.
The Wedge Scan
A 48-hour teardown of your idea’s competitors. Who’s doing it, who’s doing it sideways, and whether there’s actually a gap.

You have an idea. You’re excited.
You’re about to spend weeks writing specs, mocking screens, maybe even pitching a cofounder — before answering a simpler question:
Does this already exist?
In practice, that check gets skipped. Not because it’s hard — because it’s messy, easy to half-do, and hard to trust.
And it’s the cheapest test you have.
We run that scan for you. Properly. In 48 hours.
What you get
A 3–5 page report (PDF) covering:
- • 3–4 direct competitors already shipping your idea
- • Adjacent tools solving it sideways (the ones you won’t think to check)
- • A clear verdict: already shipped / narrow gap / genuinely open
- • Receipts: links, pricing, funding signals
No 40-page decks. No filler. Just the answer you actually needed.

We ran the Wedge Scan on a real one-line startup pitch. The pitch sounds novel. The verdict… less so.

FAQ
Why 48 hours and not instant?
Because this isn’t a keyword search. We check adjacent categories, recent YC batches, and tools solving the problem differently enough to be easy to miss.
What if someone’s already shipping it?
Then you just saved weeks (or months). That’s the point.
What if you find nothing?
Then you have real signal to keep going.
Is this AI-generated?
The scan is run using a structured methodology, then reviewed by a human. If the signal is weak, we say so.
