    a) Am i solving a problem people REALLY do have? b) Does the problem, require an urgent solution? c) Is the solution feasible? d) Is the solution easily copyable for competition? if it is not that's great, otherwise... e) Can I evolve the solution overtime? meaning even if the competition copies the idea, they don't know what the next step in the evolution of the solution is so I'm always one step ahead of the competition even if they copy my ideas?

    @lewis_ppp I agree with you, but this works when you're idea is not a disruptive one. A disruptive idea usually creates a new market ( what cars did to carriages for example), I would love to hear the ways you evaluate an idea.

    Select the ideas to put through your matrix. Choose your idea screening criteria. Rate your criteria. Score each idea.
