How AI SaaS Teams Outgrow Their First Niche Scoring

The version of scoring that gets you to your fourth product is sharper than the first.

Stages

• Stage 1. Score honestly the first time. Most never do.
• Stage 2. Catch capability inflation in builder-fit.
• Stage 3. Add competitive crowding as the sixth criterion.
• Stage 4. Add an outside reviewer who is not technical.
• Stage 5. Mini-score (5 minutes) for every new product or feature direction.

What to Keep

Five candidates. Honest scoring. Outside re-score. The discipline to stop in fifteen minutes.
