We know you have questions before trusting us with your idea. Good. You should. Here are honest answers to all of them.
Absolutely not. Your idea will never appear in any search engine, not Google, not Bing, not any other. Here is exactly why:
Think of it like a locked filing cabinet that only you have the key to. The filing cabinet is in a locked room. The locked room is in a secured building. Your idea goes nowhere.
No. Other AI tools have zero access to your idea. Here is the complete picture of how our AI works and why your idea stays isolated:
The AI analysis is like a private phone call between our platform and the AI. No one is listening in. No recording is kept. No one else on the internet can access that conversation.
No. This is one of our most important commitments and it is written explicitly into our Terms of Use:
"Your worksheet answers are never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any artificial intelligence model, by us or by our AI provider."
When businesses access Claude through Anthropic's API (as we do), Anthropic's own policy prohibits using those API inputs for model training. This is a key difference between:
We chose the API approach specifically to give your idea this protection.
Our database is configured with Row Level Security, a technical safeguard that ensures each user's data is only readable by that user's own account credentials. General staff cannot browse user ideas through normal database access.
The only time a staff member might view your data is if you report a technical problem and specifically ask for support, in which case access would be limited to the minimum necessary to resolve the issue.
We take the position that your idea is none of our business beyond generating your analysis. We built the platform that way on purpose.
When you delete your account, all associated data including your worksheet answers, analysis reports, and account information is permanently deleted from our database within 30 days.
We recommend downloading your PDF report before deleting your account if you want to keep a copy. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
You can delete your account at any time from your dashboard, or by emailing support@yourideatomarket.com.

We use Claude by Anthropic, one of the most capable and safety-focused AI models available. When you submit your worksheet:
The entire process takes 10–30 seconds. The AI has no memory of your submission after the analysis is complete. Each analysis is a fresh, isolated request.
The analysis is a highly informed starting point, not a guaranteed prediction. Think of it as having a knowledgeable business consultant review your idea based on the information you provided.
It is good at:
It has limitations:
Always use the report as a starting point for further research, not as a final decision. Before major investments, consult a patent attorney and business advisor.
No. The AI has no persistent memory between sessions. Each analysis request is completely independent. Once your report is generated, the AI has no recollection of your idea.
Your idea is stored only in our database under your account, not in any AI system. The AI is simply the engine that processes your worksheet once and returns a result. It does not retain a copy.
There are several important differences worth knowing:
No, earlier is actually better. Our platform is designed for the beginning of the inventor journey, not the end. You don't need a prototype, a business plan, or a patent.
What you do need is a clear sense of: what problem you're solving, who has the problem, and roughly how your product would be different from what already exists. The worksheet guides you through discovering those answers if you haven't thought them through yet.
Many inventors find that filling out the worksheet for the first time reveals gaps in their thinking. That's exactly the point.
It depends on how much research you've already done:
We offer a downloadable Excel version of the worksheet so you can fill it in offline at your own pace, save it, do research, come back to it — and upload when ready. No time pressure.
Yes. With an account, you can submit and save multiple ideas. Each gets its own worksheet, its own analysis, and its own report. Your dashboard shows all your ideas so you can compare them side by side.
Each idea submission is treated as a completely separate, confidential record. Idea A has no connection to Idea B in our system.
Each full report is $29 per idea. The free summary is always free for every idea you submit.
You can return to any saved worksheet and update your answers, then re-submit for a fresh analysis. This is especially useful as your research improves. Your first submission might be based on initial assumptions, and a second submission after real market research will produce a much richer report.
If you've already purchased the full report for an idea, updating and resubmitting generates a new analysis at no additional charge.
Free (always, no credit card required):
Full Report for $29 one-time:
One-time only. $29 per idea, per report. No subscriptions, no recurring charges, no hidden fees. You pay once and own your report permanently.
If you have multiple ideas, each full report is a separate $29 purchase. The free summary is always free for every idea.
We offer a refund if:
To request a refund, email support@yourideatomarket.com within 7 days of purchase. We'll make it right.
Payments are processed by Stripe, the same payment processor used by Amazon, Google, Shopify, and millions of other businesses worldwide. Stripe is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified, the highest level of payment security certification.
We never see or store your credit card number. When you click the payment button, you are sent to Stripe's secure checkout and your card details go directly to Stripe, never to our servers.
No. Most inventors use our platform before filing anything. That's the whole point. Our analysis helps you decide whether the idea is worth pursuing and which path (build vs. license) makes the most sense before you spend money on patents.
That said, if you believe your product has a genuinely novel technical mechanism, we recommend filing a Provisional Patent Application (USPTO, roughly $320 micro-entity fee) before sharing detailed technical specs with anyone, including us. A provisional establishes your priority date for 12 months while you continue developing.
Our analysis includes a patent landscape overview to help you understand the IP environment around your idea.
No. Submitting to our platform does not constitute public disclosure. Your submission is private and confidential under our Terms of Use. It is not published, indexed, or accessible to any third party.
Public disclosure, which can affect patent rights, occurs when an invention is described in a published document, presented publicly, sold, or offered for sale. None of those things happen when you submit your worksheet to us.
⚠️ Important: This is not legal advice. For specific patent questions about your invention, consult a registered patent attorney or agent. We can recommend next steps in your report, but we are not a law firm.
Yes, in the form of a binding confidentiality commitment built into our Terms of Use, which you agree to when creating an account.
Section 2 of our Terms is written as a formal confidentiality covenant stating that we will:
This obligation survives account termination indefinitely. Even if you close your account, we are still bound by it.
A traditional paper NDA is not practical for a web platform (you can't sign before you've entered anything), but our Terms create the same legal protections in a form that actually works for digital services.
No. Our analysis reports are for informational and educational purposes only. They are not:
Think of it as a knowledgeable friend with broad business experience giving you their honest take on your idea. Valuable advice, but always consult qualified professionals before making major financial or legal decisions.
Your idea stays private. Your analysis is ready in minutes.
