What is hot and crazy graph?

The hot and crazy graph is a two-dimensional diagram used to analyze the feasibility of a project or idea. The x-axis represents the level of craziness or novelty while the y-axis represents the level of technical feasibility or difficulty. The graph is divided into four quadrants: safe bets, quick wins, experiments and moonshots. The safe bets quadrant represents ideas that are both technically feasible and have low to medium craziness, while the experiments quadrant represents ideas that are high in craziness but low in technical feasibility. The quick wins quadrant represents ideas that are low in craziness but high in technical feasibility, while the moonshot quadrant represents ideas that are high in both craziness and technical feasibility. The concept of the hot and crazy graph was popularized by Mike Maples Jr., a venture capitalist and startup advisor, as a tool for evaluating startup ideas and investments.
