3 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 0 the month before → demand is rising.
3 demand signals vs 42 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 2 days ago → conversation is live now.
