What This Scan Is

A starting point, not a verdict

This tool scans AI training data to give you a directional signal on three dimensions: whether similar products exist at retail, whether patent activity is present in your space, and whether consumer demand evidence exists. It is built for the first five minutes of inventor research — the moment when you want a quick sanity check before going deeper.

If Your Idea Already Exists

That is not the end of the story

Finding competitors means the problem is real and people pay to solve it. What matters is whether your approach is meaningfully different. This scan cannot tell you whether your specific mechanism is patented, what launched in the last six months, or whether the market is large enough to build a real business on. That requires a deeper analysis — which is exactly what YourIdeaToMarket.com is built to provide.

Who Built This

Built by a real inventor who learned the hard way

Todd Hanson spent seven years bringing Compass Carts — a patented utility cart system with dealers across North America — to market. He built YourIdeaToMarket.com because he wanted first-time inventors to have honest, structured analysis before spending real money. This tool is the front door to that platform.
