Validated ideas, with the evidence file.

A listing is a validated idea and its evidence file: the six-dimension score the engine gave it, the simulated expert panel that pushed on it, and the research notes behind it. It is sold as an exclusive licence to build from that evidence — never as bare intellectual property, and never as a company.

What you get

Three things travel with every listing.

The idea alone is the smallest part of what you are buying. The evidence is the part that took weeks to produce.

The scored brief

The six-dimension score and band the engine gave the idea, with the weakest dimension shown rather than buried. A high score with a weak monetisation dimension usually means a well-described idea with no proven buyer — you get to see which is which before you pay.

The panel simulation

The five-person simulated expert panel that pushed on the brief: the questions it asked, the objections it raised, and the answers it accepted. You can rehearse the hard conversations before you spend money on them.

The research notes

The founder’s own market notes, assumptions and stop criteria — including what would make them stop. Every listing carries a provenance link back to the original brief on BetaConnect, so the work can be checked rather than taken on trust.

The board

Ideas validated on BetaConnect, listed by their founders.

Every row here was scored by the same engine that scores a brief in the workspace, and reviewed by us before it went live. Nothing on this page is invented to fill space.

What a listing looks like

No ideas are listed yet, so here is the shape of one. These are worked examples of problem statements, not companies and not businesses for sale. Each shows what a founder uploads and what a buyer reads first. Scores are deliberately absent — a sample with an invented score would be the one dishonest thing on this page.

The weekly picture a support worker rebuilds by hand
SAMPLE Healthcare
CA$240

Families, agencies and support workers each keep their own notes before every support-planning meeting; a two-minute weekly check-in filled in by the person themselves could replace the preparation.

Worked example
An evening a week spent chasing payment for work already done
SAMPLE Fintech and Banking
CA$180

Trade contractors finish the job and then chase the invoice by text; reminders written in the contractor’s own words could get them paid faster than the software they already pay for.

Worked example
Where the spoilage actually happens, in one number
SAMPLE Logistics and Supply Chain
CA$300

Regional food distributors lose margin to spoilage but cannot say where, because the number lives in a driver’s notes and a warehouse count taken at a different time.

Worked example

Sample listings disappear the moment a founder lists a real idea.

How it works

The whole sequence, in order.

Five steps from a first score to a buyer’s evidence file. Each one says where it happens, so you never have to guess which screen comes next.

1
Workspace · Brief composer

Score a brief

Describe the idea, name who feels the problem, and state the assumption you most need to test. The engine scores six dimensions and runs the five-person panel. Save the brief — only a saved, scored brief can be listed.

2
Workspace · Saved brief

Press “List for sale”

On the brief’s detail bar, set the price in CAD, choose exclusive or non-exclusive, and write why the idea is worth buying. It goes straight to review — nothing is live the moment you submit.

Workspace · Ideas tab

We review it

Your Ideas tab tracks every listing: review while we check it, listed once it is approved, sold when a buyer settles. Adoptions and purchases show there too.

Buyers browse the board

Every approved listing appears above. Buyers filter by sector, read the thesis, and check the weakest dimension before the headline score.

Purchase or adopt

Purchase takes an exclusive licence — the listing comes down for everyone else once it settles. Adopt is free and non-exclusive: the idea stays on the board and the validator is credited on it. Either way the full evidence file travels with it: the scored brief, the panel simulation and the research notes.

Selling an idea you validated

Steps 1 to 3 are the whole seller flow, and they take a couple of minutes. We review every submission before it goes live: the score must come from a real brief, and the idea must be yours to sell. When a listing sells, the platform keeps a 20% commission and the rest is yours.

Where payments stand

Honest about what is live today.

Card payments are not live today. The Purchase button on a live listing records your interest instead of charging you — leave an email and you will be told first, and nothing is charged in the meantime. Adopting is free and works today with a BetaConnect account.

The licence itself — what exclusive and non-exclusive mean, what the seller represents, and how disputes are handled — is written out in full in the Marketplace Addendum.
