esc // validation, not inspiration

You don't need another idea. You need to know what's
actually broken.

Most tools validate ideas you already have or package complaints into "SaaS concepts." This one digs into a community and surfaces the problems people keep hitting — ranked by how often they show up, with real quotes as evidence and what people are already doing to cope: the tools they're paying for, the spreadsheets they hate, the manual workarounds they run every month. A problem someone is already burning time or money on is a problem worth your time. No spin. You decide what's worth building.
