Data Privacy & Integrity
What you submit stays exclusively yours.
With consumer AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini, you can't rule out that your inputs feed into future training data. A structural risk founders rarely factor in.
Ideontics works exclusively via the Anthropic API. Your idea is used only to generate your assessment — never to train AI models. Full processing details are in our privacy policy.
The same goes for you as a visitor: no tracking cookies, no fingerprinting, no personal data. No cookie banner, because it's simply not needed.
No AI training
Your inputs are never used to train or improve AI models (Anthropic commercial terms).
Automatic deletion
Your idea is deleted automatically after 12 months.
Intellectual property
Your idea is and remains yours. Our terms expressly exclude any exploitation.
Paid = Private
Paid assessments remain visible to you only, with no public listing.
Voices from practice
What founders and innovators say.
As an industrial designer I work with early-stage product and business ideas all the time. Ideontics helps me question assumptions quickly, make risks visible and turn a vague idea into concrete next steps. You get back a multiple of what you pay. The analyses are so well-founded that I now use them for my own clients.

Ideontics assessed my business idea with surprising precision — especially the risks I had sensed myself but could not have articulated that clearly. What helped me: the 12 specialised agents don’t deliver one “AI opinion” but 12 perspectives, each with its own score. That is real added value compared to conventional evaluation forms. The Pessimist (risks, kill criteria) made it clear to me where my concept tips over most easily. My conclusion: a pragmatic, honest tool for founders at the pre-seed stage. Anyone looking for a honeypot rating is in the wrong place. Anyone who wants an honest outside perspective: recommended!

Open questions
Anything still unclear?
Can I see an example before paying?
Yes. Under "Examples" you will find complete assessments, fully readable, without signing up and without paying. They show exactly the scope and quality you get for your own idea.
What do the packages cost and what is included?
Three one-off packages, no subscription and no renewal. Basic ($ 5.99) covers 4 agents, the scoring matrix and a summary. Standard ($ 9.99) covers 8 agents and adds the Business Model Canvas and open validation questions. Full ($ 14.99) covers 12 agents and adds a patent search and the Value Proposition Canvas. The PDF report is included in every package.
Which package do I need?
Basic is enough for a first placement, when you want to know whether the idea is worth pursuing at all. Standard is the normal case once you plan to work with the result, because the Business Model Canvas and the open questions are included. Full pays off for technical or product-heavy ideas where patent situation and value proposition matter.
Can I upgrade to a bigger package later?
Yes. On the results page you can move up to a bigger package at any time and pay only the price difference. The assessment is then re-run automatically with the larger team; you do not have to enter your idea again.
How do I pay?
Payment runs through Stripe. Credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Klarna are available. Depending on your country Stripe may show further methods. Ideontics never sees or stores card details.
Can I get a refund?
For digital content delivered immediately, the statutory right of withdrawal ends once delivery begins. You are told this explicitly during checkout and agree to it before the assessment starts. The details are in the terms, section 4.
How long does an assessment take?
It depends on the package, because more agents mean more discussion rounds. Basic takes about a minute, Standard two to three minutes, Full up to five. You can follow along live and do not need to keep the window open, because the result is also sent to you by email.
Do I need an account?
No. You enter your idea without signing up, answer the follow-up questions and pay. Your email address is collected at checkout so the result reaches you even if you close the page.
How reliable are the results?
The assessment is a reasoned evaluation based on what you provide, not a forecast. Its quality depends directly on how precisely you describe the idea and answer the follow-up questions. Every assessment therefore states its assumptions openly and, from the Standard package upwards, the questions you should test in the market yourself.
