In this challenge you need to edit the partially complete function that is there, this means you need to write the code in the def statement. You don't need to call it on anything just write it so it would work, here's mine:

def suggest(product_idea):
    if len(product_idea) < 3:
        raise ValueError
    return product_idea + "inator"

The only issue you had with the logic you have used is using <=, as that is different to <, we want less than, not less than or equal to. Hope this helps
