Why it’s working

Solves a chore developers actively hate — turning messy Slack threads into shipped docs — with a zero-config setup. Traction is corroborated beyond the founder’s audience, which is what makes the opening real.

The posture

Evidence-based and source-attributed. Signals are directional, not promises. We analyze strategy and GTM — we don’t sell clones, copy, or fake proof.

MRR / user / tactic claims are surfaced as source-attributed evidence with a confidence rating — never verified guarantees.
You’re responsible for what you build. We map the opening; you do the work.
04FAQ

Skeptical? Good. Here’s the straight version.

Is this just a clone factory?+
No. WedgeMap sells strategy and GTM analysis — why a product is getting traction, how the funnel and pricing work, and where a new entrant has an opening. We don’t reproduce names, logos, copy, or visual identity. The principle: analyze the strategy, don’t reproduce the expression.
How is a product “scored”?+
Each product gets directional scores — Traction, Copyability, Wedge Potential, Monetization, plus creator-side reads — computed from corroborated signals across Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub, Product Hunt and founder posts. The headline Distribution Dependency read separates genuine market pull from founder-audience advantage.
What does the $49 actually unlock?+
The full Wedge Brief for one product: why it’s working, traction evidence, the offer/pricing/funnel breakdown, copyable moves, weak spots, 3–5 possible wedges, the recommended wedge, and a bottom-line verdict. One-time purchase, stays in your library.
Is it a subscription?+
No. WedgeMap is one-shot. You buy a specific artifact — a Wedge Brief, a Deep Report, or a Custom Scan — and keep it. Browsing the radar and previews is always free.
How fresh is the data?+
The radar updates continuously as new launches are detected and scored. Briefs are generated against the freshest crawl at purchase. Every claim is source-attributed and timestamped.
Who is this for?+
Indie hackers, micro-SaaS and AI-tool builders, agencies, and studios who’d rather start from a product showing real signal than from a blank page.

Never start from a blank page again.
