Niche Scoring for AI SaaS in Plain English

No frameworks. Plain explanation.

What It Is

Five candidate niches. Six criteria. Score each 1-10. Sum. Pick the highest.

The Six Criteria

• Reachability
• Pain frequency
• Existing spend
• Differentiation (customer-visible)
• Builder-fit (audience, not capability)
• Crowding (how late you are)

Why You Do It

Capability picks miss. Scoring forces customer-side thinking.

When You Stop

When you have the highest score. Move to interviews.
