Opportunity score 54/100 Solid

TECH sector avg: 57 -3 Top 33% (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.

50(moderate)

SeverityBased on pain intensity level, mentions (full-corpus percentile), and paid-evidence count (log scale).

61(moderate)

FeasibilityBased on existing supply count (inverse percentile — less supply = higher feasibility), build difficulty, and source diversity.

25(weak)

5d old Top tier Demand + Supply + Trigger all present

How we calculated this 54/100

50×30% + 61×45% + 25×25% = 49 → × 1.00 freshness → × 1.00 gold = 54

Final score discounts: freshness drops ~50% per week (5d old), and grade weight reflects how many of the 3 signal types (demand/supply/trigger) we found.

5 signals of willingness to pay in the evidence pool

THINK TWICE

5 competitors already shipping — crowded, harder to differentiate
Only 1 mention across platforms — evidence thin, validate before building

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit:admincraft users who complained — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix (no build yet)
Next 7 days: ship a 2-page landing site with $9/mo waitlist + "request beta" form — count signups
If <10 signups in 7 days: kill it · the demand isn't there at this price
