TeardownHQ
The research layer for how startups grow.
Hype can't move this line. Only verifiable outcomes do.
No money. No seat. It doesn't move the price. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
by reality anchor — the price money can't pump
AI. Launched 6d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #520. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching. It's anchored at 150 pts.
It placed #520 on PeerPush with 2 votes.
A launch's opening price comes from where it placed on its own board, normalised across all 12 platforms we watch. That's deliberate: #1 on a small board beats #40 on a huge one. It's how a launch nobody saw can still be worth more than one everybody did.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
Quiet for 3 days — no penalty yet. Bleeding begins on day 7.
We fetch this site every day and hash what's on it. A founder can post “still working on it” — but if they actually shipped, the page changes. That's the only claim we price: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The story so farEVERY MOVE, AND WHY▾
1 quiet day in between are left out — nothing happened on them. Repriced every day, no cliffs. A launch that goes quiet bleeds a little at a time, so there's never a drop you could have run from the night before.
Momentum on its boardDOESN'T MOVE THE PRICE▾
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day. This is the crowd's attention — it does not move the reality price. Only verifiable outcomes do.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.
About
TeardownHQ is the research layer for how indie startups actually grew. Browse a directory of real companies with revenue and growth estimated from hard signals like traffic, headcount, and app and payment data, then open a full teardown of any one of them: how they landed their first hundred customers, the single channel that actually moved revenue, the pricing and packaging calls that worked, and where they eventually hit a ceiling. It is built narrow and current for the businesses you could actually build, indie SaaS, micro-SaaS, dev and AI tools, and no-code apps, instead of the generic startup advice you have read a hundred times. What makes it trustworthy is the part most "how they did it" content skips. Every teardown is assembled by a deep-research pipeline and run through a verification pass that checks each claim against its source and cuts anything it cannot stand behind, so you get specifics you can act on rather than self-reported screenshots, with estimates labeled honestly as estimates. The directory and a teaser of each teardown are free, a subscription unlocks the full library and the data tools, and verified founders can write their own startup's teardown and earn a share when it sells. TeardownHQ turns "how did they pull that off" from a guess into something sourced, current, and worth copying.

The board it did beston sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also landed in that board's top 25% — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
