Sample CEOS Reality Check verdict card: Worth a closer look, structured read 5 to 8 out of 10, Low confidence, self-calibrated from a predicted 6 to 9.

Every idea sounds brilliant in your own head. The only question that matters is whether it survives the evidence.

You've got an idea you can't shake. Maybe it's the one that makes you leave a steady job. Maybe it's the next bet for a business you already run. Either way, you're going to take a risk. The only question is whether it's an informed one. An AI that agrees with everything you type won't get you there. Neither will your gut. What you need is the rigor a good advisor would bring: pull the evidence, name what would kill it, and tell you plainly whether it's worth it. That's CEOS. An informed risk, not a blind one.

How CEOS evaluates

Brutal.

An honest reality check, not flattery. The score is checked against the outcome on every project. The system grades its own bias in public. It tells you what an AI built to please you won't.

Auditable.

See exactly why. Every claim cites a source or moves to the assumptions list; every agent decision lands in the audit trail. Open the links and check the work yourself.

Repeatable.

The same rigor on every idea you bring. Same idea, same evidence → same verdict. No vibe-checks dressed up as analysis.

Calibration Check™

A stress test that catches your own optimism. Live calibration data is published from real Reality Checks.
