Head-to-head decision matrix
Both ideas skew toward the Growth Seller. Asset-recovery handoff dashboard for firing an agency is the cleaner first test for that founder because it combines validation score, confidence, and execution difficulty more favorably; Influencer scoring for DTC product launches fits when the founder has stronger access to that buyer.
Firing an agency means recovering ad accounts, analytics access, domain registrations, creative files, and running campaigns from a counterparty with no incentive to help - and companies routinely discover months later what they never got back.
Brands pick launch influencers on follower counts and vibes, then discover post-launch which partners drove sales and which drove nothing - tuition paid every launch with no accumulated pricing discipline.

Feasibility is strong for a low build if the MVP is limited to the first measurable workflow.
Feasibility is thin for a moderate build if the MVP is limited to the first measurable workflow.
Revenue: $250K-$2M ARR potential if the wedge proves budget urgency and becomes a recurring workflow.
GTM: Start with manual concierge output, direct outreach, and community proof before paid acquisition.
Execution: Execution is low; the main constraint is staying narrow enough for a first proof loop.
