Why this can work
Users understand the value immediately, the workflow is simple, and SEO can compound through role-specific landing pages. Applicants waste time rewriting the same cover letter for each role and company.
Why this can fail
Generic output, broad positioning, and weak distribution can make it feel interchangeable with free AI tools. Avoid this if you are targeting a broad general audience without a niche or distribution edge.

FAQ
Should I start broad or niche down first?
Start narrow. A tighter niche improves pricing, messaging, SEO relevance, and product decisions.
How much of this build kit should I ship in v1?
Ship the smallest workflow that proves demand and pricing. Treat the rest as expansion paths, not launch requirements.
