Ecommerce Data Security Manager

Frustrated after losing $9k to restricted access; developers worried about supply chain backdoors in plugins.

The take: 8 complained · no good tool.

TimingBased on trigger event count, event freshness (14d window), and growth forecast. Percentile against all active cards.
25(weak)
SeverityBased on pain intensity level, mentions (full-corpus percentile), and paid-evidence count (log scale).
77(strong)
FeasibilityBased on existing supply count (inverse percentile — less supply = higher feasibility), build difficulty, and source diversity.

35d old Strong Demand + Supply or Trigger
How we calculated this 68/100
25×30% + 77×45% + 90×25% = 65 → × 1.00 freshness → × 1.00 silver = 68
Final score discounts: freshness drops ~50% per week (35d 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
  • No direct competitors yet — first-mover window open
  • Pain level is HIGH — users actively complaining, not casual interest
THINK TWICE
  • No paid evidence AND no competitors — could mean "no market" rather than "open market"
VALIDATE THIS WEEK
  1. This weekend: DM 5 of the reddit:smallbusiness users who complained — ask if they'd pay $9/mo for a fix (no build yet)
  2. Next 7 days: ship a 2-page landing site with $9/mo waitlist + "request beta" form — count signups
  3. If 10+ signups: build the smallest version that solves the top 1 pain — defer the rest

The pain users describe: [shopify] Thousands of dummy customers - how to stop

Timing / why now: [no explicit trigger]

Existing alternatives: none clearly identified yet — opportunity for a first-mover

Help me draft an MVP technical plan:
1. Core user flow (happy path, 3-5 steps)
2. Data model (main tables and their key fields)
3. Tech stack recommendation (favor fast-to-ship options)
4. First 3 things to build this weekend
5. What NOT to build in v1 (scope discipline)
