Head-to-head decision matrix
Both ideas skew toward the Research Strategist. Anonymous daily check-ins for 12-step sponsors is the cleaner first test for that founder because it combines validation score, confidence, and execution difficulty more favorably; Phone-based injury-risk movement screening for hiring fits when the founder has stronger access to that buyer.
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.
Industrial employers hiring for physical roles either skip movement screening or pay $200-$400 for slow clinic assessments, leaving them blind to injury-risk mechanics until a costly on-the-job injury occurs.
Validation criteria
Bars use the existing report visual scale, with each criterion scored out of 10.
Demand looks weak because the report has 2 source-backed signal(s), an editorial confidence of 50/100, and a defined buyer in Addiction recovery support tools.
Demand looks weak because the report has 2 source-backed signal(s), an editorial confidence of 52/100, and a defined buyer in Pre-employment occupational health screening.
Problem severity is thin when the buyer pain, customer value, and dream-outcome scores are combined.

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

No source-backed direct match is recorded yet, so saturation risk is treated as unknown rather than proof of novelty.

Feasibility is thin for a moderate build if the MVP is limited to the first measurable workflow.
Feasibility is weak for a high 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.
