Kill shot

The job is already done for free by the very community threads cited as proof of demand, and the buyer is a demographic ('women 25-45 in confusing relationships') with no budget authority on a $9/mo hobby-ceiling price. Worse, the abuse subreddits that are your only channel forbid product marketing, and a tool that flags coercive-control patterns in real abuse cases carries liability a solo founder can't carry. Victims of coercive control frequently suffer financial abuse and have their bank statements monitored, making a visible $9/mo recurring subscription to a relationship-analysis app physically dangerous or impossible to purchase.

No vibes. No flattery.

The verdict

PIVOT · 41/100. Real demand, but the shape needs to change.

The kill-shot

The job is already done for free by the very community threads cited as proof of demand, and the buyer is a demographic ('women 25-45 in confusing relationships') with no budget authority on a $9/mo hobby-ceiling price. Worse, the abuse subreddits that are your only channel forbid product marketing, and a tool that flags coercive-control patterns in real abuse cases carries liability a solo founder can't carry.

What would change the verdict

100 people from a community put down a refundable $9 deposit for analysis of one real entry before any app exists; compliments in DMs don't count, only the deposit. A domestic violence charity or shelter agrees to pre-pay for a bulk license to distribute the app anonymously and safely to their clients.

From the dossier · The problem

Millions of people in confusing or potentially abusive relationships are crowdsourcing reality-checks from anonymous strangers in the community because they can't trust their own perception. Posts like 'I Genuinely Think My Husband is a Psychopath' (4,475 upvotes, 2,152 comments) and 'AIO if I am setting boundaries with my husband?' (2,150 upvotes, 2,892 comments) show people desperate for someone to tell them whether their situation is normal or dangerous. The obvious modern answer would be 'ask an AI chatbot,' but peer-reviewed research published in Science (2025, 790 score, 615 comments)…
