7 GATES. ONE HONEST SHORTLIST.

Know if your niche is worth it before you build anything

Bring 1-3 niches you're actually considering. Grade each one against the 7 keystone gates a real niche has to clear before it's worth your time — not vibes, a checklist.

V1, self-assessment mode. This version scores your niches from your own honest answers to each gate: fast, free, no waiting. A live-analysis upgrade (where the tool does its own research on your behalf instead of relying on self-report) is the next phase, once the backend for that is wired up.

How each niche gets graded

Every niche is scored against the same 7 gates. A niche that fails a gate isn't disqualified — it's flagged, so you know exactly what you'd have to solve for before committing.

    More money and attention flowing in each year, not less.
  2. 2Painful problems worth paying for
    People already pay to make the problem go away.
