Score Breakdown
Heuristic ranking from public discussion signals — not a validated prediction of commercial opportunity, demand, or willingness to pay.
Composite 70/100 (High, unvalidated). Top driver: Willingness to pay (30% weight, 25.5 pts).
Heuristic only — often urgency map or random scaffolding on ingest, not measured mention frequency. Maps to XPS relevance (with market size).
LLM/mock judgment of intensity from title/summary text — not ops or ticket data. Maps to XPS quality (with willingness to pay).
LLM/mock purchase-intent guess from text — not invoices, surveys, or paid seats. Maps to XPS quality.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed on insert) — not a verified mention trajectory. Maps to XPS novelty.
Heuristic/scaffold (often random or fixed) — not TAM research. Maps to XPS relevance (with frequency).
Catalog notes (not predictive analysis)

Source Examples
“My auth has suddenly quit working today (9/18) I have created several copilot skills that require authentication. All were working up until yesterday, but now today they are all failing with authentication issues. I keep getting this error: The Kusto MCP is unavailable, and the REST fallback failed Azure authentication with AADSTS901001 due to an invalid software_agent_id . Azure CLI requires a fresh az logout / az login authentication before the query can run. az login is not authenticating for me. It keeps saying "broswer-based sign-in is still injecting the invalid agent ID, so I'm switching to device-code flow. Device-code flow fails to authenticate me. This issue is severely restricting my work, so assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!”
