Executive Summary

Product teams today (roughly 2M globally) waste time and budget sifting through noisy, redundant public forum posts because raw signals don’t translate into clear, reusable problem statements for roadmaps and prioritization. That makes discovery slow and budget-heavy, especially for teams without dedicated research or consultancy support. You could build a SaaS platform that ingests public community posts, applies modern embeddings and vector-db clustering to surface concise, provenance-linked problem statements with frequency, sentiment, and confidence metrics, and pushes prioritized insights into Jira/Notion or analytics pipelines. The product would emphasize deduplication, human-in-the-loop validation, and exportable evidence packs so PMs can act quickly. This is a $6.0B addressable market (2M product teams × $3K ACV) driven by two trends: teams demanding evidence-backed discovery and falling costs of semantic search/embedding infrastructure; market and revenue scores (88/100 and 82/100) suggest strong commercial potential. Companies are already reallocating budget from ad hoc research and consultancy toward workflow-integrated SaaS, making go-to-market timing favorable. You can stand out by delivering high-precision, provenance-rich problem statements and built-in prioritization—positioning the product as “validated pain, not raw signal”—and by integrating directly into product workflows for immediate actionability. Key challenges are data noise, moderation/legal/privacy constraints on scraping, and the need for model tuning and human review to maintain quality at scale, which will require initial investment in labeling and governance.

Market Opportunity

Cluster real user pain from public forum posts into concise problem statements targets a $6.0B = 2M product teams × $3K ACV total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 15% YoY — based on combined growth in customer insights, social listening, and product analytics markets (source: industry reports on customer analytics and social listening growth).

Key trends driving demand: Trend — Product teams increasingly demand evidence-backed discovery workflows, creating demand for tools that surface validated pain rather than raw signals.; Trend — Advances in embeddings and vector databases make high-quality semantic clustering feasible and cost-effective at scale.; Trend — Companies are shifting budget from ad hoc research and consultancy toward SaaS tools that systematically feed product decision pipelines..
