Turn your idea into a clear next step.
Explore your offer, understand the numbers and discover where AI can help. Melika supports you from your first questions through market testing to running your business.
You do not need all the answers yet.
Why the Compass helps
- Spot your assumptions – Before bigger investments, you see what is still only a guess.
- Sharpen your offer – A vague idea becomes an offer others can understand.
- Make costs visible – Costs, time and resources are on the table.
- Use AI on purpose – Use AI where it helps – or deliberately leave it out.
- A feasible next step – You end with one concrete task, not a wish list.
What you get at the end
- An idea profile you can correct
- Financial scenarios with visible assumptions
- An AI assessment and open questions – or the clear statement that you do not need AI yet
- A prioritised next action
- A starting point for working with Melika
Four phases of support
- Check the idea – Goal: make the idea understandable and surface the key assumptions.
- Test demand – Goal: find out whether real people have the problem and would pay for a solution.
- Run a pilot – Goal: try a small, measurable offer with real customers.
- Build the business – Goal: turn the tested offer into a repeatable sales and delivery process.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a finished idea?
No. You can start with a rough picture – or with an offer that is already running. For every question you can choose “I don't know yet”; the Compass then shows what is still open, and the AI can turn it into a first validation.
Does this work without AI?
Yes. The questions, financial scenarios and next step work without AI. The AI assessment is an extra step that you trigger yourself. “No AI needed yet” is a complete result.
Can I plan a physical product or software?
Yes. Services, physical products, software or a combination lead to different questions and cost blocks, for example initial stock and minimum order quantity for products, or hosting and AI cost per use for software.
Who can see my input?
Without signing in, your draft is only reachable from your device. You decide yourself whether your result is shared when you hand over. For the AI assessment we first show which provider receives your input and ask for your consent.
What happens after the result?
You can keep working, take the profile with you as a PDF, or deliberately hand the result over to Melika Business. There it becomes a project with the same answers, tasks and the four phases.
What does the support cost?
The Compass itself is an entry point to Melika Business. We agree the scope of joint support individually, so we do not list fixed prices here. Prices for usage within Melika Business are shown in the app.
Does the result replace real market research?
No. It states your assumptions, calculates them transparently and suggests the next tests. Only conversations and pilot customers show whether people really pay.
