The Problem
Founders spend 2-3 hours per idea on manual validation: tab-juggling SERP, Reddit, YouTube, competitor pricing. Triage is slow; gut decisions arrive late.
The Scavio Solution
Scavio + LLM validation loop: per idea, parallel calls to /search + /reddit/search + /youtube/search; LLM bundles into JSON verdict {already_exists, demand_signal, top_competitors, biggest_objection, gut_call}. Triage in 25-30 minutes per idea.
Before
2-3 hours per idea; founder triages 1-2 ideas per workday.
After
25-30 min per idea; founder triages 4-6 ideas per workday and books customer-dev calls on the top 2 by Friday.
Who It Is For
Indie SaaS founders, side-project builders, product managers running customer-dev sprints, founders running validation-heavy weeks.
Key Benefits
- 6-7x compression in time per idea
- Multi-source signal in one bundle
- Reddit demand-signal layer that competitors miss
- $0.05-0.10 per validation
- JSON verdict ready for the founder's decision rubric
Python Example
import os, requests, asyncio, aiohttp
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
async def fetch(s, url, body):
async with s.post(url, headers=H, json=body) as r:
return await r.json()
async def validate(idea):
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as s:
return await asyncio.gather(
fetch(s, 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', {'query': f'{idea} 2026'}),
fetch(s, 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search', {'query': idea}),
fetch(s, 'https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/youtube/search', {'query': idea}),
)JavaScript Example
const H = { 'x-api-key': process.env.SCAVIO_API_KEY, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' };
async function validate(idea) {
const opts = (b) => ({ method:'POST', headers:H, body: JSON.stringify(b) });
const [s, r, y] = await Promise.all([
fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', opts({ query: `${idea} 2026` })).then(r => r.json()),
fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/reddit/search', opts({ query: idea })).then(r => r.json()),
fetch('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/youtube/search', opts({ query: idea })).then(r => r.json())
]);
return { s, r, y };
