Head-to-head decision matrix
Both ideas skew toward the Research Strategist. Photo search across every secondhand marketplace at once is the cleaner first test for that founder because it combines validation score, confidence, and execution difficulty more favorably; Photo value scanner for piles of loose Lego bricks fits when the founder has stronger access to that buyer.
Shoppers hunting a particular used item must repeat the same photo or keyword search across eBay, Marketplace, Mercari, Poshmark, and more with no unified view.
Collectors sitting on tubs of loose Lego have no quick way to estimate what their pile is worth or which parts are worth selling individually versus by weight.
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 45/100, and a defined buyer in Second-hand shopping search tools.
Demand looks weak because the report has 2 source-backed signal(s), an editorial confidence of 42/100, and a defined buyer in Lego resale and collecting tools.
Problem severity is weak 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.

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

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