Your First 10 Minutes (Fast Path)
| Minute | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Open Quick Start | Environment & baseline |
| 3–4 | Enter 1–2 seed themes | Seeding signal graph |
| 5–6 | Sort by Opportunity Score | Surface asymmetric bets |
| 7–8 | Open top 3 → compare | Pattern recognition |
| 9 | Bookmark top candidate | Preserve context |
| 10 | Run Validation Checklist | Go / refine / discard decision |
If no candidate passes: pivot angle (audience slice), not just topic.
Key Signals (Snapshot)
| Signal | Meaning | Interpret |
|---|---|---|
| Demand Score | Normalized search + interest blend | <50 = early / niche; 60–75 = sweet spot; >85 = scrutiny required |
| Competition Score | Content & SERP saturation | <55 desirable for new entrants |
| Monetization Vector | Diversity of viable revenue paths | Higher breadth = resilience |
| Momentum | Directional trend delta | Negative + high volatility ⇒ caution |

When to Stop Researching
Stop once you have:
- 1–2 candidates passing Validation Checklist
- Clear problem articulation (who / pain / desired outcome)
- ≥2 monetization modes with non‑fragile demand
Further grinding usually yields diminishing confidence returns.
Common Anti‑Patterns
| Pattern | Risk | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Chasing hype spikes | Rapid decay | Prefer steady or rising baselines |
| Choosing ultra‑broad theme | Diluted positioning | Slice by audience / usage context |
| Ignoring monetization early | Monetization retro‑fit pain | Vet vectors up front |
| Overfitting personal bias | Market mismatch | Use objective scores + validation |
