Research

Notes that cut across products rather than into one: where the signal is, which sources hold up, and how often the same complaint shows up in unrelated places.

Source directory: four grades of trust

Finding ideas and finding revenue are not the same search, and they do not use the same sites. Graded by who the number is accountable to: filed, checked, estimated, timely. This revision corrects three wrong fee figures from the first version and demotes Flippa out of the top grade.

Pain Mine, part one

28 subreddits scanned, 21 threads read closely, five patterns that cut across industries and ten buildable web products. Includes the sampling method, the four I threw out, and two assumptions that would invalidate the whole ranking.

Pain Mine, part two

Part one was all B2B process. This round took 34 different subreddits into caregiving, health insurance, education, creative work and household logistics. The most valuable thing that came out of it was not the ten openings — it was several practitioners turning up to explain why the obvious product will not work.
