Ideas have parts. Ideas can be good for different reasons. A single aggregate rating does not give enough range for evaluating many of the ideas on this site. Entrepreneurial ideas generally show a need, propose a solution, and (possibly) propose details on implementation. It might be helpful to let people rate ideas on these attributes:

Need: Recognizes a need worth considering. (Entrepreneurs may start with the need and develop their own solutions.)

Solution: Proposes a credible solution. (Entrepreneurs may see a route to implementation.)

Implementation: Provides reasonable details on implementation. (People in product design and marketing may want to think about this.)

Other attributes might also be useful:

Creative: Spark of a novel idea. (Might want this as icebreaker for your next brainstrorming session.)

Public: Interesting idea for public policy discussion. (Pundits and Talking Heads may want to collect this for their next commentary.)
