Pricing

Decide more. Build less. One unbuilt weekend pays for a year.

Every tier ships the rubric and the deterministic verdict — that part is table stakes. Paid tiers unlock the live evidence pipeline, founder-specific calibration, and the MCP endpoint your build agent can call. That's where Trigvale stops being a smarter prompt.

Live evidence

Six public sources (Reddit, GitHub, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, dev.to, Product Hunt) fetched per archetype, refreshed every 6h, with sparkline trends across every founder evaluating in the same archetype.

Founder calibration

Your skill + distribution graph re-weights every score. Verified GitHub stats and 30-day public commit cadence outrank declared signal — private repo data when GitHub is linked via OAuth.

Archetype context

Each idea joins 1–3 archetypes from a 16-cluster catalog. Corpus-derived stats plus semantic neighbours (embedding cosine within the cluster).

Agent endpoint

Callable from Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-aware build agent so validation can’t be skipped.

Subscriptions are billed monthly via Stripe. Cancel from the customer portal at any time. The rubric and the deterministic verdict are identical across plans — paid tiers add the data layer (live evidence, founder-specific calibration, archetype context) and the agent endpoint. One weekend of unbuilt wrong-idea work pays for a year of Validate.
