Head-to-head decision matrix
Category-filtered estate-sale leads for resellers best fits the Growth Seller (57/100 fit), while Trade and supply-chain operations signal monitor: U.S. strikes Iranian military sites after ship was hit in Strait of Hormuz best fits the Operator Builder (63/100 fit). Choose by the founder advantage you can actually bring to the first validation sprint.
Resellers waste mornings driving to estate sales that turn out picked-over or off-category because listings are scattered and lack item-level detail.
An operations lead managing supply-chain and trade exposure struggles to catch developments like "U.S. strikes Iranian military sites after ship was hit in Strait of Hormuz" early and turn them into a decision, because geopolitical and trade developments are scattered across news, forums, and filings with no filter for what actually affects their work.

Competitive room is reduced by 1 recorded alternative(s); the wedge must stay narrow and differentiated.

Revenue: $250K-$2M ARR potential if the wedge proves budget urgency and becomes a recurring workflow.
