this is what one report looks like.

Twenty of these every month. Scored against your stack, your niche, your budget. Every entry links to the actual source threads so you can verify. No summaries-of-summaries.

Biggest jump this month. Every indie founder thread is someone asking why conversion dropped after their trial length change. Clear build-candidate: a lightweight "trial health" monitor.

Stripe-adjacent frustration. Workarounds involve manually toggling CORS rules per env. A dev-tooling wrapper that handles this is a 2-week MVP.

Stable but persistent. Lower priority for non-mobile builders; highly valuable for the React Native crowd.

// but couldn't i just do this myself?

the problem isn't access. it's discipline, dedup, and scoring.

The raw data is public. Anyone can read it. What kills the DIY approach is showing up every month, filtering out the noise, remembering what you saw last time, and scoring each pain against your niche, stack, and budget. That's the work sigatlas does for you.

diy (chatgpt + manual browsing)

  • × You'll forget to do it by week 3
  • × Same pains from six months ago keep resurfacing
  • × Training cutoff means "recent trends" are stale
  • × No scoring against your niche, your stack, your budget
  • × Hundreds of threads to skim, most of them stale

sigatlas ($49/mo)

  • Runs every month — we remember so you don't have to
  • Deduped across runs — you see what's NEW
  • Real pain signals from real threads, with links
  • Fit score per opportunity against your profile
  • Top 20 curated with editorial notes — not 200

// methodology

we don't invent opportunities.

Sigatlas runs a real market-intel pipeline every month. We pull threads from 12 sources, extract pain signals with a scoring model, dedupe via fuzzy matching on pain descriptions (not raw keywords), and score each opportunity against your scan profile — your stack, your niche, your price range, your MVP timeline.

We show the month's top 20, not 200. Every opportunity links to the actual source threads. We don't hallucinate signals. We don't pad reports. If a month is quiet in your niche, we tell you.

// problems we solve

the four things that kill DIY opportunity research.

  • 1. You stop showing up.

    Manual research is a habit that dies in week three. Sigatlas runs every month on schedule — you get the report whether you remembered or not.

  • 2. You can't tell new from recycled.

    The same pains resurface every quarter. Without a memory of last month's signals, everything looks new. We dedupe across runs so you see what's actually accelerating.

  • 3. Nothing is scored against you.

    A pain that's perfect for a solo TypeScript dev is useless to a five-person Rust team. We score every opportunity against your niche, stack, and budget so the top of the list is actually yours to build.

  • 4. Signal-to-noise is brutal.

    Raw feeds are 95% rants, memes, and support tickets. We filter, cluster, and curate down to the top 20 with editorial notes — not 200 threads you'll never read.

// faq

the things you're about to ask.

ChatGPT trains on data that's months stale, makes up citations when it can't find one, and has no concept of 'what changed this month.' Sigatlas runs a real scan pipeline every month, pulls from 12 sources, dedupes across runs, and shows you the delta. Every opportunity links to the source threads so you can verify. It's the difference between 'vibes' and 'signal.'
