What Good Niche Scoring Feels Like (Customer Side, AI SaaS)

Customers never see scoring. They feel its effects.

What They Feel

• The product respects their trust boundary. AI is welcome where they want it, absent where they don't.
• The output integrates with their actual stack. Reachability score forced you to know that stack.
• Pricing matches their reference point. Existing-spend research anchored it.
• The product is not the tenth one they saw this month. Crowding score steered you to an empty niche.

Why This Matters

Customers cannot articulate any of this. They just feel that the product is "for them" or "not for them."

The for-them feeling almost always traces back to honest niche scoring before commitment.
