Fly Labs Method
Is the pain real, is there a gap, is it the right time, can one person build it.
Value Equation
Dream outcome and how likely it feels, against the time and effort it costs.
One-Person Business
Curiosity pull, identity fit, and a path from free value to paid for a solo creator.
Viral Frameworks
Hook strength, shareability, and how cheaply it can be tested.
Builder Lens
Evidence the problem exists, timing, defensibility, and a model that fits on a napkin.
Five lenses, one composite. How scoring works

Specialized dating app for trans men (T4T)
Trans men face discrimination and poor experiences on mainstream apps like Grindr and need a dedicated T4T dating platform.
Dating & Community
Dating apps reduce people to photos, ignoring real conversations and connection
Users are tired of swipe culture and superficial matching based on appearance, craving voice-first interactions for authentic relationships.
Dating & Community
