An idea is only a factor in implementation

It's funny to hear someone trying so hard to protect ideas (for example, those who want me to sign a non-disclosure agreement when they share the simplest idea with me).

I think ideas are worth nothing without implementation. They are just a multiplier. The implementation is worth millions.

Explanation:

Awful idea = -1
Weak idea = 1
Idea nothing = 5
Good idea = 10
Great idea = 15
Brilliant idea = 20

Without implementation = $ 1
Weak implementation = $ 1000
Realization so-so = $ 10,000
Good implementation = $ 100,000
Excellent implementation = $ 1 000 000
Brilliant realization = $ 10 000 000

To evaluate a company, you need to multiply one by the other.

A brilliant idea without implementation costs $ 20.

A great idea with excellent performance costs $ 20,000,000.

Therefore, I do not want to hear ideas.

I'm not interested until I see the implementation.
