Why Startup Illusions Fail: An Honest Deep Dive into Entrepreneurial Delusions
Startups are born from ambitions, dreams, and, often, delusions. Consider 'Permit', which scored a rare high of 89/100. Not alone, 45% of ideas follow certain success patterns while others fail spectacularly. Let's dive into what separates the viable from the doomed.

### The 'Nice-to-Have' Trap If your startup idea solves a problem nobody's rushing to fix, you're in the 'nice-to-have' territory. Travel App suffers from feature bloat while attempting to be everything for everyone. The core issue? It's a glorified hobby that won't command loyalty. Focus on AI itinerary extraction and refine your offering into something indispensable.### Why Ambition Won't Save a Bad Revenue ModelNot every idea is a golden goose. The B2B Wholesale for Barbers is less a business and more an exercise in hustle. With a score of 44/100, the lack of technical innovation makes it vulnerable to any competitor with a sharper angle. Without tech differentiation, you're just a middleman in a cutthroat market. Pivot by building a SaaS ordering platform, and you'll find the moat you're missing.
