41 builder posts asking · 39 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
30 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 18 the month before see the curve → demand is rising.
41 demand signals vs 11 shipping rivals → demand outweighs supply — the gap is real.

last new signal 1 day ago → conversation is live now.
