Risks / avoid if

• •High replication difficulty — building this needs significant engineering or resources, which can be a real cost for a solo founder.
• •Crowded market — many direct competitors already compete for the same users, so differentiation is hard.
• •Unique data dependency — the product's advantage relies on data access that's hard to acquire from scratch.
