What the numbers suggest

3 rivals shipping (fact bar) see prices → competition is thin; attack the weaknesses builders quote above.
5 builder posts asking · 5 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
5 demand signals vs 3 shipping rivals → demand and supply are balanced — differentiation decides.
0 willingness-to-pay quotes yet → no one has named a price — validate pricing before building.
last new signal 15 days ago → conversation is recent.
