Question 1

What is Pre-Mortem Agent?

Accepted Answer

Pre-Mortem Agent is an AI-powered startup idea validation tool that uses five specialized adversarial AI agents to interrogate your business idea. Each agent attacks from a different angle — market viability, founder-market fit, unit economics, competitive landscape, and customer behavior — then assigns a Deadpool Score predicting how likely your idea is to fail.

Question 2

How does the Deadpool Score work?

Accepted Answer

The Deadpool Score is a composite risk metric generated after five AI sub-agents (The Market Realist, The Founder Skeptic, The Cost Auditor, The Competitor Hunter, and The Customer Cynic) interrogate your startup idea with six adversarial questions. The score reflects the probability of failure across market, financial, competitive, and execution dimensions.

Question 3

What are the five AI agents in Pre-Mortem?

Accepted Answer

The five adversarial AI agents are: (1) The Market Realist — attacks assumptions about total addressable market and willingness to pay; (2) The Founder Skeptic — probes founder-market fit and unfair advantage; (3) The Cost Auditor — destroys ideas with bad unit economics, focusing on CAC and burn rate; (4) The Competitor Hunter — identifies incumbents and the 'good enough' status quo; (5) The Customer Cynic — attacks switching costs and pessimistically evaluates user behavior change.

Question 4

Is Pre-Mortem Agent free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pre-Mortem offers a free tier called 'The Bait' that includes one full autopsy with the complete 5-agent panel and Deadpool Score. Paid plans start at $9/month (The Survivor) for 2 validations and pivot analysis, $19/month (The Founder) for 5 validations and Advisor sessions, and $49/month (The Interrogation) for unlimited autopsies and the VC War Room simulator.

Question 5

What is the VC War Room in Pre-Mortem?

Accepted Answer

The VC War Room is a high-stakes pitch simulation available on the $49/month Interrogation tier.

It includes live investor simulation, stress-testing of unit economics, and an objection handling coach.
