I would cut that down from 100 to 10. Yes, 10.
Come up with 1 good business idea a day for 10 days, instead of 10 bad ideas a day.
Otherwise, you'll waste a ton of time ultimately narrowing down 100 bad ideas to 1 bad idea.
I think with this you're just throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks, and that usually never ends well, also 10 days for idea validation isn't long enough. I think you should reverse engineer what kind of business you want. First figure out what you want from a business, then identify a hole in a market and create the kind of business you'd want on the market if you were the customer. You should be focused on adding value to society, not trying to find a business that will make you rich quick. The money will come with the value you bring to society. I used to be the person to bounce from idea to idea every week and I never made any progress, so I can guarantee you, you wont make progress switching businesses every 10 days.

The flaw in both of those processes is:
- What if the idea you pick is the wrong one, but the right one is one of the other 9 you didn't pick.
You haven't shown us how you narrow down to 1. One of the other 9 might be the idea that works, but in your examples you threw them out and then restarted the process. You could be throwing out a winning idea and never know
