Loss-Prevention Engine v5.0

Stop Building
Start Validating

An AI-powered MCP server that creates structured doubt. It doesn't help you build faster — it stops you from building things nobody wants. Powered by Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, and Polymarket.

"You don't lack ideas. You lack monetization friction."   ///    "Nobody is waiting for your MVP."   ///    "You're optimizing for identity, not revenue."   ///    "If the answer is unclear, the build is locked."   ///    "The market does not care about your roadmap."

What It Does

Seven layers of structured doubt

openGlad is not an acceleration engine. It's a friction engine. Every tool is designed to block premature building and force revenue validation first.

🧠

Behavioral Pattern Scan

Detects overbuilding drift, monetization avoidance, idea hopping, and prestige bias in how you talk about your idea.

🎰

Failure Simulation

Three-scenario prediction (Best / Likely / Worst) with quantified expected loss in hours, money, and missed opportunities.

🔒

Revenue Gate

Locks the build phase until you prove willingness-to-pay. You don't get to write code until someone will wire you money.

📈

Multi-Source Market Intelligence

Real-time data from Reddit (11+ subreddits), Hacker News, GitHub, and Polymarket prediction markets. Overcrowding detection, tarpit alerts, and late-entry risk analysis.

⚔️

Comparative Friction Analysis

Can't decide between two ideas? Parallel multi-source analysis of 2-3 ideas simultaneously. One ranked verdict. No excuses.

🩺

Startup Diagnostics

Clinical scoring across execution stability, revenue health, burnout risk, and distribution discipline.

🪞

Mirror Statements

Every analysis ends with confrontational closing sentences that reflect your behavioral flaws back at you. No sugar-coating.

Market Intelligence

Four sources. No API keys. All free.

Every market-facing tool aggregates data from all four sources in parallel, deduplicates cross-source results, and ranks by engagement — not just recency.

Reddit

Community Sentiment

11 base subreddits + dynamic topic expansion. Engagement-ranked results with per-author caps to prevent single-voice dominance.

Free · No Key
Hacker News

Developer Signal

Algolia API searches the last 30 days of HN stories. Technical founder consensus — a completely different audience than Reddit.

Free · No Key
GitHub

Open Source Adoption

Public search API surfaces competing repos by star velocity and recent push activity. Shows whether developers are actually building in your space.

Free · No Key
Polymarket

Prediction Markets

Gamma API surfaces real-money prediction market odds. The most honest signal available — people betting their own money on outcomes.

How It Works

Four steps to structured doubt

Connect once, get friction forever.

Connect the MCP

Add the openGlad endpoint to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.

Pitch your idea

Tell the AI what you want to build. openGlad intercepts and fetches data from Reddit, HN, GitHub, and Polymarket in parallel.

Face the data

Cross-source duplicates are removed, results ranked by engagement, and evidence synthesized into a grounded market picture.

Face the mirror

Get a brutal diagnostic: behavioral risks, failure simulations, and a locked build gate until you prove revenue.

13 Tools

The full arsenal

Seven friction tools and six diagnostic tools, all designed to prevent you from wasting your time.
