Score Breakdown

Heuristic ranking from public discussion signals — not a validated prediction of commercial opportunity, demand, or willingness to pay.

Composite 61/100 (High, unvalidated). Top driver: Willingness to pay (30% weight, 19.5 pts).

Frequency · 25% · 11.5 pts · XPS relevance46

Heuristic only — often urgency map or random scaffolding on ingest, not measured mention frequency. Maps to XPS relevance (with market size).

Severity · 25% · 17.5 pts · XPS quality70

LLM/mock judgment of intensity from title/summary text — not ops or ticket data. Maps to XPS quality (with willingness to pay).

Willingness to pay · 30% · 19.5 pts · XPS quality65

LLM/mock purchase-intent guess from text — not invoices, surveys, or paid seats. Maps to XPS quality.

Trend · 10% · 6.8 pts · XPS novelty68

Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed on insert) — not a verified mention trajectory. Maps to XPS novelty.

Market size · 10% · 5.8 pts · XPS relevance58

Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed) — not TAM research. Maps to XPS relevance (with frequency).
