# Pitch Roast

> Paste a startup pitch (one to five sentences). Five fictional judges score it 1 to 10 with a short roast line each, then you get one verdict and the one change that would most improve it. Free, no login, deterministic.

Cost: free, no login.

## What it does
- Five judges: The Seed VC, The Skeptical Customer, The CTO, Your Competitor, The Growth Lead. Each scores 1-10 and gets one funny but useful line about the problem that cost them the most.
- Verdict from the total out of 50: FUND IT (42+), SHARPEN IT (34+), REWRITE IT (25+), ROASTED (15+), BURNT TO A CRISP (under 15).
- The one change: the single fix that raises the total the most on its own.
- Every result has a shareable URL (the pitch lives in the URL, nothing is stored) with its own OG image.

## How it scores (transparent rubric, no AI model)
Points for: a specific customer, a named pain or payoff (extra if it has a number), numbers and traction (paying customers > users, pilots, waitlist), a wedge, a real distribution channel, an edge, a concrete mechanism, a price, why-now, founder fit.
Points off for: "X for Y" comparisons (Uber for..., Cursor for...), blockchain without a reason (softened for the crypto category), buzzword density, vague audiences ("everyone", "businesses", "Gen Z"), all-in-one scope, AI hand-waving, hedging, shouting, and a pitch that is too short or too long.
