Executive Summary

About 3,000,000 UX and product designers compete for attention, and many portfolios fail to convert visitors into interviews because case studies are inconsistently structured, lack clear metrics and narratives, and are costly to polish. Hiring teams increasingly favor portfolio-first evaluation, so both individual designers and recruiting teams lose time and miss matches when case studies don’t effectively communicate impact. You could build an AI-powered case-study auditor and assistant that scores clarity, impact, and storytelling, produces targeted rewrites and visualizations, and ships as an embeddable audit widget plus a SaaS dashboard for individuals and teams. The market is attractive now—estimated TAM ~$1.2B (3M designers x $400 ARPA), a market score of 90/100 and revenue potential 78/100—because LLMs make personalized, fast content improvement feasible and trends like portfolio-first hiring and creatorization increase willingness to pay for polished public work. To stand out in a medium-competition field you must prioritize verifiable, defensible feedback (benchmarked heuristics, citations, and optional human review) to avoid LLM hallucinations and to build trust with hiring managers. Real challenges include ensuring fidelity on visual artifacts, protecting portfolio IP and privacy, and driving conversion from free audits to paid subscriptions, but the unit economics and potential for team upsells and marketplace integrations make this a practical, scalable opportunity if executed with strong product trust and domain data.
