We scored 1,389 business ideas from Greg Isenberg's channel. The data disagrees with the hype.

Every idea from Greg's channel, extracted and scored against real market data — competitors, search demand, revenue ceilings, and how automatable each one is. Only about one in three holds up. And the categories everyone's most excited about are the ones the data likes least.

01 · THE VERDICT SPLIT

Across every idea, only 31% (435) earned a BUILD. Most land in “maybe” — interesting, but not backed by the market data once you look.

03 · THE QUIET LEVERAGE

30% of the ideas score 8+/10 on automation — the kind a solo builder plus AI can actually run. And 666 (48%) carry a modeled revenue ceiling above $1M. The leverage is real; it's just not where the loudest hype is.
