Risks / avoid if

• •High replication difficulty — building this needs significant engineering or resources, which can be a real cost for a solo founder.
• •Moderate competition — several players are already active in this space, so a clear angle matters.
• •Unique data dependency — the product's advantage relies on data access that's hard to acquire from scratch.
