FAQ
The questions worth asking first.
Everything you need to know about how ValWithProof works.
Where do the numbers come from?
From retrieval over 278,288 real records, using TF-IDF with a 160-dimension SVD and a hybrid lexical/semantic blend. No number in a report is generated by a language model. That constraint is the entire point of the product, and it is why the Reports engine loads a real index at startup rather than calling an API.
Do I have to describe my idea three times?
No — once. It is the only input in the product. The report scores it, the API engine reads it for the capabilities it implies, and the expert brief is matched on the same text. Change it on the Idea dashboard and every feature picks up the new one.
What does it cost?
Reports and API recommendations are free — generate as many as you like and download them. The only thing that costs anything is time with a mentor, and the mentor sets that price themselves. You see the exact amount before you book, in rupees.
Do I need any API keys to run this?
No. Every feature runs on its bundled data with no keys set — the API engine falls back to a catalogue of 76 APIs and deterministic extraction, and the other two never call out at all. Adding a language-model key improves the prose in API explanations; it does not change any score.
