Search demand comes from Google Ads data via DataForSEO and refreshes daily. Competitors come from a live scan of page-one results. Crowd input comes from builders ranking ideas 1-2-3 on the market.

Demand counts the whole cluster: 84,400 searches a month across every relevant way people look for this problem. The intent label on each keyword tells you how close that searcher is to wanting software.

CPC is what an advertiser pays Google for one click on that phrase — a rough price tag on how valuable the visitor is. Ad comp. runs 0 to 1 and is how full the ad auction is: near 1 means advertisers are fighting over it (money is there, but ranking is hard), near 0 means almost nobody bids.

0-1 scale: some advertisers bidding

Opportunity score 7,083 = 40% contestable search demand (84,400 a month across 25 keywords) + 25% how open the competition still is (14 products on page one) + 15% momentum (last three months vs the three before, capped so one bucketed month can't swing it) + 10% willingness to pay ($5.37 a click) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1516, 2 head-to-heads, weighted by how many votes exist). Anything we can't measure is dropped and the rest re-weighted, so a blank signal never counts as an average one. Search data refreshes daily from Google Ads via DataForSEO.

Priced and converted as a prosumer subscription — the funnel below changes with that model, because a freemium consumer app and a B2B tool convert nothing alike.

How we got there

• 84,400 cluster searches a month, 1.6x for app stores and word of mouth.
• You reach 0.9-5.4% of that, scaled by ad competition 0.35.
• 10% of visitors sign up, 12% of those pay. Trial-led: people arrive already shopping, so trial-to-paid runs high.
• That wins 14-87 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 5% monthly churn and you're holding 128-800 paying users by month 12.
• Price $9/mo, taken from the business model below.

They can improve communication, reduce conflict, and help support compliance with child arrangements.
