Graveyard

Ideas Trigvale killed this week.

A rolling feed of anonymized startup ideas the rubric killed, with the load-bearing weakness named. Read it before you spend a weekend building something that lands here.

Every entry is opt-in by the founder when they share their brief publicly — Trigvale never lists an idea without explicit consent. Anonymous URL-extracted briefs (the /try-url flow) opt in by default since they’re already anonymous; signed-in shares opt in via a checkbox at share time.

No kills yet this week

The graveyard is empty.

Trigvale is brand new. Once enough founders opt in to publish their kill verdicts, this feed populates with the load-bearing weakness from each. Until then — read the sample brief or score one of your own.

Why a graveyard?

Most ideas should be killed before code is written. Naming what gets killed and why is the most honest signal a pre-build decision system can give.

What stays private

The founder’s identity, the full brief, and the version history. Only the de-identified idea title + verdict + one-line reason surface here.

What this isn’t

An outcome predictor. The rubric surfaces structural weakness — execution, distribution, timing, and luck still decide whether the idea would have actually succeeded.
