Pre-Launch QA Testing

Opportunity score 48/100 Solid
TECH sector avg: 57 -9 Top 78% (9 cards)
GapMine track record: 254 predictions proven avg 34d early →
TimingBased on trigger event count, event freshness (14d window), and growth forecast. Percentile against all active cards.
25(weak)
SeverityBased on pain intensity level, mentions (full-corpus percentile), and paid-evidence count (log scale).
53(moderate)
FeasibilityBased on existing supply count (inverse percentile — less supply = higher feasibility), build difficulty, and source diversity.
50(moderate)
20d old Building up Demand only (still incubating)
How we calculated this 48/100
25×30% + 53×45% + 50×25% = 44 → × 1.00 freshness → × 1.00 bronze = 48
Final score discounts: freshness drops ~50% per week (20d old), and grade weight reflects how many of the 3 signal types (demand/supply/trigger) we found.

Should you build this?

YES, if
  • You can ship in 1-2 weeks on $0-20/mo infrastructure
  • 1 signal of willingness to pay in the evidence pool
THINK TWICE
  • 5 competitors already shipping — crowded, harder to differentiate
  • Only 2 mentions across platforms — evidence thin, validate before building
VALIDATE THIS WEEK
  1. This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit:entrepreneurs 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 in 7 days: kill it · the demand isn't there at this price

The pain users describe: Best way to QA before launch

Timing / why now: [no explicit trigger]

Existing alternatives: none clearly identified yet — opportunity for a first-mover

Help me draft an MVP technical plan:
1. Core user flow (happy path, 3-5 steps)
2. Data model (main tables and their key fields)
3. Tech stack recommendation (favor fast-to-ship options)
4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
