After

Per-question score table
What's the strongest evidence you have that someone actually wants this?
Specific persona, but no proof these engineers actually want this enough to pay.
What are your users doing right now to solve this problem, and what does that workaround cost them?
Quantified spend, quantified time loss, and a real gap no current tool fills.
Name the actual human who needs this most. What's their title and what consequence do they face?
Real tailwind, but "LLMs got cheaper" is a tailwind every competitor has too.
What's the smallest possible version of this that someone would pay real money for this week?
Tight scope, zero-install distribution, and a feedback loop that improves the product.
What surprised you when you actually watched someone use this without helping them?
Cold LinkedIn DMs to EMs is a low-conviction channel with brutal conversion.
If the world looks meaningfully different in 3 years, does your product become more essential or less?
Specific numbers, but $2.4K MRR at month 6 is light and the retention claim is unproven.
