What the numbers suggest

20 rivals shipping (fact bar) see prices → market is crowded; differentiate on the unmet requirements above, don't compete on breadth.
7 builder posts asking · 6 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
16 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 15 the month before see the curve → demand is steady.
7 demand signals vs 20 shipping rivals → supply already outweighs demand — enter only with an edge.
0 willingness-to-pay quotes yet → no one has named a price — validate pricing before building.
last new signal 8 days ago → conversation is recent.
