I would greatly appreciate a service that fills this need, but your approach has a bad smell. The second you mention using AI for generation, I'm no longer interested. I'd rather pay 10 times whatever you had in mind and get human help. Make whatever internal tools you want to streamline the process, but don't take the humans out of the loop when it comes to something as important as validating a business idea.

The difficulty with using humans is that it's harder to scale and even then humans can also be wrong. So we're thinking of how to improve on it. It's a bit mind recking to be honest.lol
Well, your customers are mostly going to be human. For instance, I'm a human and I'd love to spend $500 for someone, who knows what they're doing, to coach/guide me over chat/email through the process of validating a business idea in a high quality way. I don't think it'd come down to more than 5h of work.

One way of scaling it that has already been done is to use the customer's humanness, by selling a book. That scales. Now, if the price point is $500 for a small but high quality business idea validation, what can you do that's better than selling a book on how to do it? Could you train coaches, who then can bill over $100/h and let the customer execute on it? Willing customer right here.
