A shortlist for small tests, not an income forecast

The input-fit score gives 60 points for a selected skill match, 20 for meeting the broad capital band, and 20 for meeting the weekly-time threshold. With no skill selected, every idea receives 20 exploratory skill points. It uses no income ranges, live demand data, platform promises, country prices or success probabilities.

Before acting, validate real buyer demand, price, costs, tax, licences, insurance, safety, data handling, platform terms and employment-contract restrictions in your location. Start with a small paid test instead of treating the ranking as profitability evidence.

Privacy and functions: selections stay in this browser. Copy, TXT download, and Print / save PDF happen only when selected. No network function, account, marketplace or job platform is used. Method reviewed 18 July 2026.

Side-hustle shortlist questions

Does the highest score mean highest profit?

No. It means only that the idea fits more of the skill, time and capital bands selected. Profit depends on real demand, price, cost, execution and risk that this static tool does not know.

Why are there no income ranges?

Unsourced country ranges become stale quickly and can hide major differences in price, hours, costs and experience. Build a local revenue-and-cost test from actual customer conversations and quotes instead.

What should I test first?

Define one narrow paid offer, ask several suitable buyers, record objections, price the full cost, and stop or adjust if the evidence does not support further spending.
