Feasibility check
For everyday dreamers.
Ideas show up at odd moments and slip away just as fast. Avictus gives yours a place to land, and automated analysis to see what it could become.
Let your ideas sprout in your sleep.
While you dream, an automated search explores the ground around your concept: what already grows there, what building would require, and which patents stand nearby.
Once you see it can work, you can't unsee it.
The problems you trip over are the companies worth starting.
Once it took a box and years. Now it can take code and a night.

How the check works
Idea submissions open soon. This is how the check will work.
Ideas will reach us by email at contact@avictus.net. Automated research, using web searches and AI, will usually run overnight. A written report will then reach you by email, in the language you wrote in. It may miss things.
- Similar offerings we found, and where yours might improve on them.
- The technical path, with rough estimates of build and running costs.
- Published patents and trademark filings in the registers you name, listed for information only. Not a patentability, availability or clearance opinion.
- Market evidence, with a rough revenue and cost scenario and its assumptions. Not a forecast or financial advice.
Reports come from automated research and can miss things. Cost and revenue figures are rough estimates, not forecasts or financial advice. Patent and trademark results are information only, not legal advice; consult a licensed patent or trademark agent. Idea submission policy
