Question 1

Who is Rookmelt for?

Accepted Answer

Rookmelt is for founders, incubators, and innovation teams that need to turn an early idea into a clearer concept. It gives each audience a structured place to think through the problem, the people involved, the proposed solution, and what still needs to be learned.

Question 2

What does the structured idea intake capture?

Accepted Answer

The core intake captures the problem, target customer, solution, market, and founder assumptions. Rookmelt uses those inputs to create a concept brief, while format-specific templates ask sharper versions of the same questions for SaaS, marketplaces, consumer products, or innovation teams.

Question 3

Can I edit a concept after I save it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Saved concepts have editable briefs and workspace sections, so you can sharpen the idea as your thinking changes. Concept workspaces are behind sign-in and are scoped to the authenticated owner; editing is not a public capability.

Question 4

Which brief templates are available?

Accepted Answer

Rookmelt currently includes reusable structures for SaaS, Marketplace, Consumer Product, and Innovation Team concepts, alongside the core brief. Each structure keeps the relevant questions visible without inventing business metrics or research you have not supplied.

Question 5

How does Rookmelt make assumptions visible?

Accepted Answer

Assumptions are part of the intake and brief, and Founder adds dedicated assumption tracking so you can record confidence, evidence, a validation question, and a research note. The workspace also lets you mark the saved assumption follow-up status, making the next learning step easier to see.

Question 6

Can I share a concept brief?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An owner can create a revocable, public read-only share link for a concept brief. The shared view exposes the brief for reading but not editing; access to the owner workspace and its controls still requires the appropriate signed-in account. Free includes one active share, while Founder and Team include unlimited sharing.

Question 7

What is included in Free?

Accepted Answer

Free costs $0 and includes core intake and briefs, up to 3 saved concepts, and 1 active share. It is enough to take an idea through a clear first pass before deciding whether you need deeper tracking or collaboration.

Question 8

What does Founder add?

Accepted Answer

Founder is $15/month and adds unlimited concepts, reusable templates, unlimited sharing, and assumption tracking. It is designed for a founder who wants to keep developing several ideas and make the unknowns explicit.

Question 9

What does Team include?

Accepted Answer

Team is $49/month and includes up to 5 seats including the owner, a shared workspace, member roles and access controls, and everything in Founder. It is for a small group shaping one shared direction.
