2 builder posts asking · 2 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
6 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 3 the month before see the curve → demand is rising.
2 demand signals vs 12 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.
