How we calculated this 57/100
25×30% + 66×45% + 75×25% = 56 → × 1.00 freshness → × 1.00 silver = 57

Should you build this?

YES, if
  • You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
  • Only 1 weak rival shipping — room to differentiate
  • 5 signals of willingness to pay in the evidence pool
VALIDATE THIS WEEK
  1. This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit:amazonseller users who complained — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix (no build yet)
  2. Next 7 days: ship a 2-page landing site with $9/mo waitlist + "request beta" form — count signups
  3. If 10+ signups: build the smallest version that solves the top 1 pain — defer the rest
