How it works

From your idea to the evidence

Start with you, not just the idea

Write your idea out in full, in your own words. Then answer eight quick questions about you: your skills, budget, time and where you’re building. Nothing about you is assumed. If you didn’t tell us, the report won’t claim it.

Your idea

Frozen, small-portion meals for people taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy or Zepbound. The drugs shrink appetite, so people eat far less, struggle to get enough protein and often feel sick after rich food. Each meal is a third of a normal portion, high in protein and fibre, low in fat and gentle on the stomach. Sold as a monthly subscription shipped frozen to the door, with a plan written by a dietitian for each dose stage.

According to the report, the single biggest risk is the crippling collision between expensive frozen cold-chain shipping and high patient churn.

A landed cost of $37 to $67 is typical for a 10 lb frozen parcel shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight. ↗ Feasibility
30% of patients abandon treatment within the first month, primarily driven by side effects such as nausea and stomach distress. ↗ Market
