Common questions
What makes a good ops agents opportunity?+
Internal glue work nobody was hired to do. The ones worth building have repeated complaints from more than one platform, an identifiable person who pays, and no incumbent that already solves the exact case.
How current is this data?+
Connectors pull continuously and the pipeline re-runs on new material, so categories fill and re-rank as fresh complaints arrive. Each opportunity carries the dates of the posts behind it.
Can I see the original complaints?+
Yes — that is the point. Open any opportunity and the evidence section lists every pain point that produced it, with a link to the original post or review.
