We watchHacker NewsRedditGitHubProduct HuntFounder posts

Three passes, from a noisy feed to a clear opening.

One engine runs continuously. Every product it finds goes through the same three steps.

01 · WATCH

Catch it while it is rising

We read launch feeds and founder posts around the clock, and flag a product when two or more independent sources pick it up in the same week.

02 · SORT REAL FROM LOUD

Separate demand from noise

The key question: are strangers showing up, or is the founder’s existing audience doing all the work? Founder-driven traction rarely transfers to anyone else.

03 · BRIEF

Show you the opening

How the product actually works, how it gets customers, roughly what it earns, and the specific gap a new entrant can walk into.

The verdict is free. The plan costs $49.

You can always see what a product is, where its demand comes from, and what we think it earns. The part you act on sits behind the unlock.

Where we stand

We analyse how a product works and how it sells. We do not sell clones. Every figure is evidence we found and attributed, never a promise.

Revenue, user and tactic claims are shown as attributed evidence with a confidence rating, never as verified guarantees.
You are responsible for what you build. We map the opening. You do the work.

Skeptical? Good. Here is the straight version.

The questions people actually ask before they spend anything.

Is this a clone factory?+
No. We sell an explanation of how a product works and how it gets customers, plus where a new entrant has room. We never reproduce a name, a logo, marketing copy, or a visual identity. The principle is simple: analyse the strategy, never reproduce the expression.
How do you decide a product is worth showing?+
Every product gets a set of directional reads, from 0 to 100, built from signals we can point at on Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub, Product Hunt and founder posts. The headline read separates genuine market pull from a founder pushing their own audience, because that is the one thing that decides whether the traction would transfer to you.
What does the $49 actually unlock?+
The full brief for one product: how it works under the hood, how it gets customers, roughly what it earns and how we got there, where it is weak, and the opening we would take, closing with a bottom-line verdict. One-time payment, and it stays in your library.
Is it a subscription?+
No. You buy one thing at a time, a Wedge Brief, a Deep Report or a Custom Scan, and you keep it. Browsing the radar and reading previews is always free.
How fresh is this?+
The radar updates continuously as new launches are detected and read. A brief is written against the freshest crawl at the moment you buy it. Every claim carries a source and a date.
Who is it for?+
Indie hackers, small SaaS and AI-tool builders, agencies and studios who would rather start from a product showing real signal than from a blank page.

Never start from a blank page again.
