What Preuve AI is

Preuve AI is a pre-build validation tool for startup and business ideas. You describe an idea. 10 AI agents scan 60+ live sources in parallel. The report ends on a verdict with a viability score from 0 to 100. Every sourced claim links to its source, and estimates are labeled as estimates.

What Preuve AI is not

  • Not an opinion generator. Reports are built from live sources retrieved at scan time, not from a model's training data.
  • Not a monitoring subscription. For founders, every report is a one-time purchase and yours to keep. A Founder Report includes 3 months of Preuve Sentinel, which reruns it monthly and emails you when a new competitor appears. It never renews or charges automatically.
  • Not a human review. No human reads your idea to score it. Scoring is 100% AI. The one opt-in exception is the Investor-Ready Package, where you hire the founder to build your deck and memo from your own report.
  • Not a success guarantee. The score is a model assessment of the evidence, not a probability that the startup will succeed.

Pricing

Prices and plans below apply in most countries. In South Asia and most of Africa, the free Reality Check is replaced by Starter Pro, a one-time regional offer: 1 full report of 18 sections (every section except the Audio Pitch), 20 starter scans and 1 pivot.

List prices in US dollars, rendered from the same data as the pricing page. The pricing page shows euros in the eurozone and pounds in the United Kingdom, set as their own figures with VAT included, not converted from the dollar price. Promotions can lower the price at checkout.
