What an Opportunity Score Actually Means
A single number ranking an idea is a useful triage device and a terrible decision-maker. Here is exactly what ours does.

Seven dimensions, published weights
Pain severity and competition gap carry the most weight, at 0.18 each. Market size, monetisation clarity and build feasibility follow. Evidence strength carries 0.12 and distribution ease 0.10.
You can see every dimension and its weight on any opportunity page. If you disagree with the weighting, you can recompute your own ranking from the parts.
One dimension is not a judgement
Six dimensions are scored by a model reading the evidence. Evidence strength is computed arithmetically from how many independent pain points back the cluster and how many distinct platforms they came from. A model cannot inflate it, which is the point.
How to misuse it
- Treating it as a probability of success — it is a relative ranking, nothing more
- Comparing scores across wildly different categories without reading the dimensions
- Ignoring evidence strength because the composite looks good
- Skipping the risks section, which is often the most informative part of the page
