Risks / avoid if

• •Moderate replication difficulty — expect non-trivial engineering effort to reach parity.
• •Moderate competition — several players are already active in this space, so a clear angle matters.
• •Unique data dependency — the product's advantage relies on data access that's hard to acquire from scratch.
