Meet the Idea Scoreboard

The Idea Scoreboard is a smart rating tool that gives you a clear picture of how much time, effort and resources an idea will require. Low‑scoring ideas are early warning signs for burnout and wasted money, while high‑scoring ideas are your green light to proceed. By the end of the book you'll know how to build and use your own Scoreboard and make informed decisions every time you have a new idea.
