How to Read an Opportunity Page
An opportunity page mixes measured facts with model judgement. Knowing which is which makes it far more useful.

Trust order, most to least
- The verbatim quotes — these are copied from the source and are the raw fact
- Evidence count and source span — measured, not judged
- The problem statement — a model's summary, but tightly constrained by the quotes
- Competitors and gaps — named only where we could identify them
- Revenue estimate — anchored on comparables where available, otherwise a reasoned guess
The evidence section is the point
Every complaint that produced the opportunity is listed with its source, severity, and a link to the original post. If our summary and the original disagree, believe the original and treat the summary as suspect.
Read the risks section properly
The synthesis prompt explicitly asks for the strongest reason the idea fails, not just easy ones. If the risks section names something you cannot answer, that is the most valuable paragraph on the page.
