The Founder’s Niche Evaluation Scorecard (Powered by AI)

We distilled niche evaluation into 10 factors, each scored 0-10: Demand Score, Trend Direction, Competition Saturation, WTP, Audience Reachability, Evergreen Potential, Regulatory Risk, Cultural Fit, Scalability, and Founder Passion. DemandSonar auto-fills 7; you provide 3. The weighted total is your Niche Quality Index. An Index above 75 is a green light. A founder rating “subscription for Japanese snacks” got an 82, built it, and grew to $500K ARR. Scorecards enforce discipline. [Get your niche scorecard →]
