9 builder posts asking · 9 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
0 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 5 the month before see the curve → demand is cooling.
9 demand signals vs 11 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 31 days ago → conversation is quiet lately.
