Why Ainna's verdicts hold up when generic AI's don't.
Any AI can make any idea sound viable — that's exactly the problem. Ainna scores against a published methodology with human experts in the loop, so a good verdict means something and a bad one just saved you a quarter.
The Innovation Mode
Ainna runs on The Innovation Mode — a methodology published by Springer Nature, shaped by 25 years of innovation work across five industries and fifteen markets, and backed by 24+ patents in AI and innovation architecture. It's why the system knows which questions to ask, how nine scoring dimensions should be weighted, and when human judgment must enter the loop. Anyone can wrap a prompt around a model. A published, peer-reviewed method is what makes the verdict defensible — to you, and to the room you present it in.
