Product Autopsy Score Methodology

Product Autopsy AI is not based only on opinions. We use a structured review to detect where a digital product is breaking: the idea, the audience, the message, the offer, trust, conversion or the product itself.

The goal is to turn a vague feeling —“my product is not selling”— into a clear, prioritized and actionable diagnosis.

The 8 diagnosis areas

1. Clarity

Can people understand in a few seconds what the product is and what problem it solves?

2. Target customer

Is it aimed at a specific customer or trying to appeal to everyone?

3. Real pain

Is the problem important enough for someone to pay for a solution?

4. Differentiation

Is there a clear reason to choose this product over existing alternatives?

5. Trust

Does the website, offer and messaging create confidence or raise doubts?

6. Offer

Are the package, price and promise properly connected?

7. Conversion

Does the user know what to do next or get lost before buying/contacting?

8. Viability

Does it make sense to keep investing in the product or should it pivot/shut down?

Scoring system

Each area is scored from 0 to 5:

The maximum score is 40 points.

Result interpretation

0 - 15 points

Critical risk.

The product needs deep rethinking. It may not be wise to keep investing without changing the foundation.

16 - 24 points

High risk.

There are useful elements, but the product probably needs repositioning or a pivot.

25 - 32 points

Medium risk.

The product has a viable base, but needs better messaging, offer or conversion.

33 - 40 points

Good potential.

The product seems well positioned. The priority is usually optimizing sales, trust and acquisition.

Final verdict

The score is not the end of the analysis. It is a tool to structure the diagnosis. The report always ends with a practical decision: relaunch, reposition, pause or shut down.
