Every day we surface one validated startup idea from our pipeline. No account required.
RepoScore is a neutral benchmarking platform that runs AI coding agent competitions on a sanitized copy of your actual codebase, producing procurement scorecards that tell engineering leaders exactly which tool performs best on their specific stack. It replaces vendor demos and social proof with repeatable, auditable evidence.
Engineering managers spending $50K–$500K/yr on AI coding tools have no way to compare them on their own proprietary code — they choose based on vendor marketing, Twitter hype, and team surveys, leading to expensive mismatches and wasted licenses.
Why now: Rapid proliferation of LLM vendors and enterprise interest in AI for development creates demand for repeatable, org-specific capability assessments.
Build a platform where customers connect a repo (or upload a sanitized clone), define task suites from templates (bug-fix, refactor, security patch, feature prompt), select 2–3 AI agents to benchmark, and receive a scorecard PDF and interactive dashboard showing pass rates, error categories, cost-per-task, and a simple ROI projection against current developer hourly rates.
Built for: Engineering leaders, procurement teams, and security teams deciding whether to adopt LLM-based developer tools.

AI Capability Evaluator for Codebases targets a medium-sized market ($100M–$1B TAM). Existing solutions are incomplete or outdated — there's clear room for a better product.
