Head-to-head decision matrix
Anonymous daily check-ins for 12-step sponsors best fits the Research Strategist (51/100 fit), while Cohort-based recovery programs for phone addiction best fits the Operator Builder (42/100 fit). Choose by the founder advantage you can actually bring to the first validation sprint.
Sponsors track daily check-ins, sobriety dates, and step progress for multiple sponsees through texts and calls, with no private place to see who has gone quiet, while anonymity tradition forbids exposing identities.
The market splits at two price points - $5 blockers the average adult overrides within a week, and $500 private coaching that reaches a sliver - leaving the tier that works for hard habits, structured group recovery with daily peer accountability, empty.
Validation criteria
Bars use the existing report visual scale, with each criterion scored out of 10.

Willingness to pay is weak; the model has a monetization hypothesis, but it must still be proven through paid pilots or explicit pricing objections.

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 moderate; the main constraint is staying narrow enough for a first proof loop.
