What the numbers suggest

12 rivals shipping (fact bar) how verified → market is crowded; differentiate on the unmet requirements above, don't compete on breadth.
2 builder posts asking · 2 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
2 demand signals vs 12 shipping rivals → supply already outweighs demand — enter only with an edge.
0 willingness-to-pay quotes yetno one has named a price — validate pricing before building.
last new signal 29 days ago → conversation is recent.
