Paste the video. Two independent AIs read the transcript, audit the affiliate links, and tell you the realistic outcome — best case, median, P10 — in dollars. Plus the adjacent plays the guru didn't mention.

The Problem
A creator films an "I tried X for 7 days" challenge. Every tool they use has an affiliate code in the description. They make $50 per signup. You make a $250 bet on a saturated playbook.
The math: 1 viral video × 994K viewers × 1% follow rate × $250 budget = $2.5M absorbed by bad-outcome playbooks from one piece of content.

What GuruCheck Checks
We don’t call gurus names. We surface evidence, assumptions, and the math. You decide.
Tracking codes in the description. We tell you how much the creator earns per signup, per tool mentioned.
Free video pointing to a $497 course. We flag the ladder so you see the full ask.
One success story stands in for thousands of silent failures. We compute the realistic outcome distribution, not the cherry-picked one.
“Start with $0” that quietly needs $500 in ads + $50/mo in subscriptions. We back out the real number.
When 994K viewers all get the same recommendation, the trade is crowded before you enter. We flag the saturation window.
If the recommended tool has a wave of refund complaints on Reddit / Trustpilot, you should know before you pay.
We show the assumptions and the evidence. Anonymous takedowns are not our style.
How It Works
No fluffy frameworks. No motivational fluff. Just the parts of the playbook that survive a brutal review.
Any YouTube biz video. We pull the transcript, the description, the affiliate links, and the channel’s track record.
Two independent AIs (Claude + GPT) audit the claims, flag the sponsored content, and compute realistic outcome distributions.
Best case / median / P10 in dollars. What’s actually replicable vs. what’s lucky. Adjacent plays that aren’t crowded yet.
Live Demo
Not a mockup. Not a hypothetical. The actual output from our pipeline on a real, viral, 994K-view business video.
┌─ VIDEO ────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ "I Tried AI Dropshipping For a Week (RAW RESULTS)" Mark Tilbury · 994K views · 28.5 min └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 🚩 AFFILIATE BIAS DETECTED • buildyourstore.ai (tracking code: wv43) • AutoDS (tracking code: il38) • createugc.ai (tracking code: q27c) Creator earns commission on every signup. ⚠ CONCENTRATION RISK 72% of his stated revenue came from ONE customer. Without that customer: $110 revenue. Net loss: ~$60. 📊 REALISTIC OUTCOME (30 days, $250 budget, following literally) Best case: +$150 Median: −$220 P10: −$500 🎯 ADJACENT PLAYS (less crowded) 1. Branded niche e-comm with US-sourced suppliers 2. POD with original creative + audience-first approach 3. SaaS micro-tool serving the dropshipping crowd itself VERDICT: ✗ Don't follow this literally Crowded negative-EV affiliate funnel, not a business edge.

Who It’s For
You lost $500-$5,000 on a previous YouTube playbook. Now you’re suspicious. Still curious. Unwilling to spend again without validation.
You have a W-2 job and $100-$500/month to explore. Evenings and weekends only. Can’t afford to lose because the cash is real.
How We’re Different
Generic AI fact-checkers stop at “is this claim true?”. We start there and keep going: realistic outcome in dollars, hidden incentives in the funnel, and the adjacent plays the guru didn’t mention. Built for decisions, not just information.
Not for: already-successful operators, true believers, or anyone whose income depends on selling courses.
Pricing
One avoided bad playbook pays for 28 years of subscription.
Free for life
No catch. We need your feedback more than your money right now.
