For builders who ship · not guess

The research is done.
Claim the brief.
Then build.

ClaimScouted sells human-researched startup briefs to developers who have the stack and the nights — but not a problem worth months of both. One builder claims each pack. After that, it leaves the shelf.

How a claim works

You are buying a research pack and a temporary exclusive listing — not a patent, and not a promise of customers.

01

Read the teaser

Public listings show the job, the ICP, the time-to-MVP, and whether anyone already pays for a worse fix. Quotes stay locked until claim.

02

Claim it

Pay once. The listing comes down. You get a claim stamp and the full pack: evidence log, MVP cut, offer lines, first conversations.

03

Build in the window

Ninety days exclusive on this shelf. Your company stays yours. We don’t take equity. We don’t resell the same pack.

What a listing looks like

These are format samples, not live inventory. The first real catalog opens to the waitlist.

BRIEF-041 · B2B · SOLO-SHIP · 4–6 WEEKS

Change-log radar for teams drowning in third-party API deprecations

ICP: 10+ API engineering teams WTP: $49–$199 / mo Gap: tools exist, none scoped for 2–8 person shops

Recurring complaints about silent breaking changes and “who owns the migration.” MVP is a watched-endpoint digest — not another status page.

$490
Format sample
BRIEF-038 · VERTICAL SAAS · SOLO-SHIP · 3–5 WEEKS

Evidence packet for vendor diligence in small clinics

ICP: 2–10 provider practices Already paying consultants Pain: weeks of PDF chasing

Clinics need proof they vetted vendors. Directories are marketing lists. The brief scopes a standardized packet + renewal reminder — not a new EHR.

$390
Format sample
BRIEF-029 · AGENCY OPS · SOLO-SHIP · 2–4 WEEKS

Friday status reports generated from tools studios already live in

ICP: 3–20 person studios Existing spend on Notion + screenshots Weekly deadline pain

Owners describe Friday as manual client theater. MVP pulls tasks and hours into a client-ready PDF. No new PM suite.

Why the pack is worth opening

Every claim cites a source URL, date, and verbatim quote. We only list problems with existing spend or explicit willingness-to-pay language. If a cited source is fabricated or dead on delivery, you get a full refund. “I didn’t feel like building” is not a defect.

Ideas cannot be copyrighted. Anyone can independently invent the same thing. What they cannot buy twice from us is this pack, these sources, and this scoped plan.

Questions

Is this another AI idea generator?

No. Shared idea databases already exist. ClaimScouted is a single-buyer brief. When you claim it, the listing comes down.

Do you take equity?

No. You buy the brief. The company is yours.

Can I publish or resell the pack?

No. The license is for you, or one entity you control, to evaluate and build. Publishing or flipping the PDF voids the exclusive window.

What does a brief cost?

Expected range is $190–$690 depending on research depth and how tight the niche is. Custom scouts (you name the skill, market, and time budget) will be listed separately when the shelf opens.
