Tõnis, the line I keep coming back to is your own admission that it cannot prove someone will pay, because that gap is exactly where I have been burned.
I ran 50 customer interviews for my company, and the loudest problem was not the one people paid to solve. In healthcare, everyone complained about clinical notes, but the money was in getting reimbursed by insurance. A tool ranking by signal volume would have pointed me at the wrong wedge.
So the evidence I trust is not how much people complain, it is whether money is already moving badly: people hiring, stacking tools, paying for workarounds. Does Trend Seeker surface any of that, or is it demand and discussion only?

@clemente_lopez1 While looking at Trend Seeker data I have understood that signal count by itself is not the most useful feature by any means. We added signal quality feature in order to separate quality from quantity.
Some examples:
podcast reputability/listener count. For instance, if Y combinator host says `I would pay for it`, then it is a good signal. It doesn't say that money is moving yet, but that it has potential in KOL's mind.
Reddit poster karma, and vote count create a stronger signal
Similar ideas from other founders validates the idea, but too much competition can mean over saturation
Trend Seeker also includes data from job ads. We have around 170k job ads and extract signals from what the companies are hiring for. This could be useful to create and offer a SaaS for these companies, but also consulting services.
The signal quality feature is WIP, and I plan to rollout more of it in the near future.
Market intelligence becomes much more valuable when it changes decisions instead of just generating more data.
Curious—what's the most common decision founders end up changing after using Trend Seeker?

@aryan787544 I think the best decision is to do market research before building. Check out the signals, google trends, and competition. This overview from multiple sources can guide you towards making the decision of pursuing the project or not.
If a founder is already building, then he could use the signals to add new features to the project. As an example, I added the mind map when I found a competitor for my product on Trend Seeker. After adding this feature and updating front page, I started getting more subscribers.
