Standard
What a record must have before it publishes
Six requirements. A candidate that fails any of them stays in the queue.
01
Demand evidence collected
Search terms and observable demand signals are recorded with the term itself, not a summary. Where a volume figure isn't sourced, the record says so instead of guessing.
02
Competition described from observable facts
Who serves this today, how they market, and where they are weak — described from what can be observed, not from assumed market share.
03
Economics reduced to assumptions
Startup costs itemised as ranges; revenue expressed only as customers × price scenarios, each with the assumption stated. No unsourced averages.
04
Reality Check written before publication
Failure modes, regulatory exposure, and an explicit 'do not start this if…' list. A record cannot publish with an empty Reality Check.
05
Every number labeled
Verified data, Modeled estimate, AI-generated, or Data unavailable. An unlabeled number is a defect, not a detail.
06
Re-review date set
Each published record carries a last-researched date and returns to the queue for re-review as conditions change.
