Critical tests and decision gates
Sequenced stages connect critical tests with evidence requirements and proceed, revise, pause, or stop gates.
Risk matrix and mitigations
A practical matrix links material risks to warning indicators, mitigations, and escalation conditions.
Recommended next actions
An ordered action plan prioritizes low-cost validation before significant product, marketing, hiring, or compliance investment.

Key questions answered
- Which assumptions could most affect the idea’s viability?
- What evidence supports the concept, and what still requires testing?
- What is the smallest credible test for each material assumption?

FAQ
How long does it take to run?
On average a template takes just a couple of minutes to run. This time will vary with the number of referenced sources and quantity of evidence analysed and you can browse the findings as it runs.
What data sources does it use?
Lucette uses the sources configured within each template and shows this supporting evidence and references in the finished output. This is all customisable, allowing you to create your own custom, reusable sources.
Can I customise it?
Yes. You can use the result as a starting point and refine it with additional context and follow-up requests. Custom templates can be rerun to create your own re-usable intelligence products.
How is the information verified?
Substantive findings are grounded in collected evidence, with provenance and references retained alongside the generated output.
