Idea
AI meal planner for type-2 diabetics that adapts to glucose trends from their CGM.
Signal reflection

You're not building a meal planner. You're building behavior change for people who already know what to eat — and that's a different product, a different price, and a different channel.

Competitors
NutrisenseCGM + human coach
$400/mo. No AI personalisation.
January AICGM + food prediction
Pivoted B2B. Consumer app neglected.
MyFitnessPalMacro logger
No CGM integration. No diabetic focus.
Evidence from the research
Honestly every app just tells me to eat less carbs. I need something that knows my body responds weird to oats but fine to pasta.

The question you haven't answered

Who pays — the diabetic or their insurer?

B2C this is a £9/mo app competing with free logger apps. B2B, it's a £20M health-plan integration play. These are different companies.

7-day validation moves
  1. 1DM 10 people in r/diabetes_t2 who posted about frustration with existing apps. Ask what they'd pay for. Don't show a mockup.
  2. 2Email 3 diabetes educators. Ask if they'd recommend a tool like this — or if their patients already have something.
  3. 3Read the last 30 days of Nutrisense App Store reviews. Find the 3 most repeated complaints.
Not in this brief: market sizing fluff, generic SWOT, “great concept!” energy.

Watch research run in real time. Then a sharp brief lands — competitors, evidence, the moves for this week.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

Fair question. General AI tools are built to agree with you. SignalCheck is built for one job.

ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini
  • Trained to agree — praises your idea
  • Doesn’t dig Reddit, app stores, or live competitor pages
  • Hands you ten options, no direction on what to actually do
  • Generic frameworks — Porter’s, SWOT, blah
SignalCheck
  • Pushes back where a senior PM would
  • Live research across Reddit, reviews, and competitor sites
  • One brief with the 7-day moves that matter
  • Tuned for pressure-testing product ideas. Nothing else.

Consultants charge £1,500 for this conversation. SignalCheck is free while we’re in early access.

FAQ

Is my idea private?+

Yes. Your ideas aren’t shared, sold, or used to train anything. Your brief is yours.

What if I don’t agree with the brief?+

Good. The brief is the start of the conversation, not the end. The point is to give you something sharper to think against.

Who is this for?+

Founders, indie hackers, and PMs with a paste-box full of ideas and no way to pressure-test them. If you’ve ever built something for three months and found out it already existed — this is for you.
