What the numbers suggest

4 rivals shipping (fact bar) see prices → market is crowded; differentiate on the unmet requirements above, don't compete on breadth.
4 requests from 4 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
3 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 2 the month before see the curve → demand is rising.
4 demand signals vs 4 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.
