3. Do you have a free plan or trial? What triggers paid conversion?

**Market / Ecosystem Signals:**
4. Do you have integration partners with overlapping audiences?
5. Do other players (agencies, consultants, influencers) sell or recommend your product?
6. Are you starting with a niche to expand to a larger market?

**Brand / Marketing Signals:**
7. Is there a trend or regulation driving urgency to buy?
8. Is your audience underserved by educational content or community?
9. Does your founder have unique credibility or story with this audience?
10. Are you creating or defining a new category?
