Two scores, two questions
| Patentability score | Filing readiness score | |
|---|---|---|
| Statutes | §101 eligibility, §102 novelty, §103 non-obviousness | §112 written description & enablement |
| Plain English | Is the idea new and inventive? | Does your disclosure teach someone how to make and use it? |
| Common gap | Prior art overlap, Alice abstract-idea rejections | Thin README, missing benchmarks, vague AI prompts |
Why both matter before you file
A strong novelty story with weak documentation still risks §112 rejections or incomplete priority claims. Conversely, polished prose cannot save an idea that is fully anticipated by prior art. Most inventors need clarity on both before spending filing fees or attorney retainers.

How to improve filing readiness
- Document the technical problem, not just the feature list.
- Include concrete implementation detail — data structures, algorithms, failure modes.
- Record human design decisions (especially when AI tools drafted syntax).
- Run the free score on your core module, not a marketing page.
- Upgrade to Interactive Code Review ($69.95) for coached §112 edits and Word exports.
