Who has this problem today, and how do they deal with it?
An app almost always replaces something: a spreadsheet, a notebook, a phone call. Describe what your future users do today, and what your solution changes for them.
Test an app or SaaS idea.
A SaaS is software sold by subscription. Before you build it, the Scorecard has you check that someone is waiting for it.

The questions that matter for an app.
Bot Opex asks its four questions and adapts them to your project. For this type of project, prepare these four points above all.
How many users are affected?
Start with an audience you can count: a profession, a town, a type of business. Be ready to say where your figure comes from.
Who pays, and how much?
Subscription, commission or licence: say how the app makes money, and what is left once the costs are paid.
Who already uses it?
A waiting list, testers, a first paying customer. Say whether it is an intention or a commitment.
A preparation tool. It is neither a financial valuation nor an investment recommendation.
Fictional example: Pignon, your bike repaired at home.
An example
Pignon, an app for bike repairs at home.
In the city, cyclists do not have time to go to a mechanic. Pignon sends one to them. The problem is clear and the market exists. The file still has to be built: a first paying customer and a pitch deck are missing.
- Idea & potential: 66 out of 100
- File: 46 out of 100
- First way to improve: put a figure on the market, using two sources
- Second way to improve: show the first feedback from customers
What your file needs to show.
- The problem, stated in one sentence
- An audience you can count
- A price and a cost per user
- First evidence of use
- The team, and the person who builds the product
The Memorandum Pack helps you write each of these parts, then produces your memorandum, your business plan, your pitch deck and your pitch sheet.
