One clear verdict on whether a niche is worth entering — blending demand, competition and how reachable the entry bar is.
Plain-English guidance for newcomers: target reviews, price band (or Kindle Unlimited strategy), the rating to hold, and a clear "enter or avoid" call.

Review counts, ratings and competition are real Amazon data. Sales figures are clearly labelled as rough models — we show ranges, never fake precision.
Not just numbers — concrete targets: how many reviews to get visible, which price or KU strategy, which sub-category to rank in.
