How we calculated this 45/100

50×30% + 40×45% + 50×25% = 46 → × 1.00 freshness → × 1.00 gold = 45

Final score discounts: freshness drops ~50% per week (4d 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

THINK TWICE

5 competitors already shipping — crowded, harder to differentiate
Only 2 mentions across platforms — evidence thin, validate before building

VALIDATE THIS WEEK

This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit:selfhosted 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
