What the numbers suggest

3 builder posts asking · 3 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
3 demand signals vs 16 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 57 days ago → conversation is quiet lately.
