Idea index
Every published idea in a structured form: title, vertical, buyer, problem, tags, validation verdict, lifecycle stage, and timing score.
Developers & Agents
The idea database is an API.
Everything a human can read here, an agent can read structurally: machine-readable data feeds, Markdown dossiers, per-vertical feeds, and a read-only agent integration. All free, no key, no rate-limit games — and the experience stays fast and dependable.
Surfaces
Machine-readable surfaces.
Every surface is published as part of the daily refresh, so structured data and the human site always stay in sync.
Full idea reports
One full report: complete research detail plus derived economics, 7-day sprint, first-contact kit, lifecycle timing, pivot map, and vertical context.
Markdown dossiers
The same dossier as Markdown — report body plus derived deliverables. Ideal for handing off to an AI assistant.
Calendar handoff
One calendar event per execution milestone, with a validation-test reminder, ready to drop into your planner.
Backlog scaffold
A ready-to-import backlog scaffold for your project tracker: normalized issues, labels, and milestone grouping.
Decision dossier PDF
A polished decision dossier PDF for forwarding to co-founders, angels, or accelerators.
Cross-vertical intelligence
Opportunity scores, verdict mixes, pain points, and whitespace signals across every vertical.
Intelligence graph
Typed entities (ideas, verticals, complaint clusters, trends, tools, personas, keywords, communities) and the sourced relationships between them.
Object 360 dossiers
Every graph object has a fused, machine-readable 360 at /entity/<type>/<slug>.json: identity + typed links (with provenance) + the object's own analytics (Heat, demand, reflexivity, track-record, evidence-independence) + recommended actions + a provenance trail mapping each read back to its source.
Change ledger
An entity-level change ledger, newest first: what was added, updated, or removed, with field-level detail.
Distribution reach
Verified syndication distribution: placements, live and backlink rates, and reach by vertical.
Cohort aging
Vintage cohort aging curves: publish-week rows with 30/60/90-day signal survival.
Vertical Heat
Per-vertical opportunity-timing bands (opening to closing) with demand acceleration, supply velocity, and source-traced drivers.
Prediction track record
The public prediction ledger as data: calibration plus maturity-adjusted hit rates — how well dated theses have held up.
Revealed-demand panel
Our own audience's revealed demand fused per vertical (votes, build-claims, pageviews) — aggregate only, no individual builder rows.
Position ledger
Typed, human-reviewed positions (pursuing / watching / passing + a falsifiable thesis) on any graph object, aggregated per object and calibrated against resolved predictions. Agents can record one via the MCP record_position tool.
Scenario engine
A deterministic what-if over the vertical timing map: apply a typed intervention (trend shift, funded entrants, regulation landing, demand shock) and get the band diff vs baseline. Agents run arbitrary interventions via the MCP run_scenario tool.
Snapshot manifest
A tamper-evident snapshot manifest with integrity checksums for the canonical data surfaces, plus a single top-level digest.
Curated collections
Auto-curated collections with current membership.
Weekly brief
The weekly State of the Opportunity Map brief, with trailing history.
Build-in-public claims
Approved build-in-public claims (human-reviewed).
Search index
The prebuilt site-wide search index: ideas, verticals, playbooks, collections, tags, and pages.
Vertical playbooks
Per-vertical go-to-market playbooks as Markdown.
Per-vertical feeds
A subscribable feed per vertical, plus a site-wide feed.
Agent orientation file
A plain-text orientation file describing what's available and how it's organized, so an agent can get its bearings fast.
Agent integration
Point any AI agent at IdeaNavigator's machine-readable surfaces — read-only, no key, no cost. An agent can search the idea database, pull full reports and backlogs, read the cross-vertical brief and weekly opportunity map, traverse the intelligence graph, and check what changed — the same things a person can do here, structurally.
Why it matters
Your agent works from the same sourced data the site shows: every claim is tied to evidence, derived numbers are deterministic arithmetic over each report's own fields (never fabricated market sizing), and nothing sits behind a paywall or rate limit. Connect once and your workflows stay in sync with each daily refresh.
Verify a snapshot
Every refresh publishes a tamper-evident snapshot with integrity checksums for the canonical data surfaces, plus a single top-level digest. Pin the digest to prove the data you used matches exactly what was published.
Snapshot contract
- A per-surface integrity checksum and byte count.
- A single top-level digest over all listed surfaces.
- A one-line citation form for logs and release notes.
Conventions
- Slugs are stable; URLs are permanent once published.
- Validation verdicts: Build / Validate / Research / Rethink on a versioned five-criterion rubric.
- Derived data (economics, sprints, pivots) is deterministic arithmetic over each report's own fields — clearly labeled, never fabricated market sizing.
- Everything regenerates with the daily refresh.
Submissions (human-reviewed)
- Submit an idea for a full generated report.
- Claim an idea you're building, build-in-public.
- Subscribe to the daily brief.
- Register for change notifications (below).
Everything submitted goes to a moderated queue; nothing user-submitted publishes without review.
Notifications: Slack
Get a Slack message when changes match your selection. Pick the verticals and entity types you care about, and a signed notification lands in your channel with a short summary for each change.
Notifications: Notion
Route the same notifications into a Notion database — one row per change, with the observed date, entity, vertical, and a short summary.
