Niche Scoring Without Methodology (Non-Technical)

Three rules.

Rule 1: Five Candidates

The contrast is the point. One candidate is theater.

Rule 2: Builder-Fit Means Audience, Not Interest

Interest does not produce reach. Score by audience, lived experience, professional network.

Rule 3: Pick and Move in Fifteen Minutes

The exercise is a filter. Pick the highest. Schedule problem interviews against it.

Plain Summary

Five candidates. Honest builder-fit. Fifteen-minute cap. Done.
