Executive Summary

Many product managers, growth teams, and small-to-mid-size companies waste hours manually stitching together signals from forums, app and product reviews, job postings, social threads and niche communities; these signals are dispersed, noisy, and rarely aggregated into actionable evidence for prioritization or pivots. There are roughly 2 million product-focused teams that face this problem, which slows hypothesis cycles and increases reliance on expensive consultants or slow research reports. You could build a self-serve SaaS that ingests heterogeneous public signals, normalizes entities, applies supervised and retrieval-augmented models for theme extraction and sentiment, and produces provenance-backed, near-real-time insight cards and alerts; a $3K average annual contract value aligns with a bottom-up pricing approach. Core features should include connectors for reviews/forums/job posts, confidence scoring and source-level provenance, an editable taxonomy, and integrations into Slack, JIRA, and product analytics so insights translate into prioritized work. The timing is favorable: generative and retrieval-augmented AI make practical the synthesis of heterogeneous text at scale, product teams are shifting to faster hypothesis cycles and near-real-time evidence needs, and self-serve analytics adoption supports a $6.0B addressable market (market score 88/100, revenue potential 88/100). To stand out in a medium-competition landscape you must prioritize precision over flashy summaries—invest in high-quality labeled data, transparent confidence and provenance, and tight workflow integrations—while acknowledging challenges around data quality, signal drift, scraping legality and privacy. If you can prove 5x–10x reductions in time-to-insight in pilots and sustain reliable, low-friction signal-to-insight mapping, this is a viable bottom-up SaaS opportunity; without that investment the product risks producing noisy outputs and weak differentiation.
