What the numbers suggest

15 rivals shipping (fact bar) see prices → market is crowded; differentiate on the unmet requirements above, don't compete on breadth.
5 builder posts asking · 5 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
5 demand signals vs 15 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.
