Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.

The market

Professional services firms screening partner and referral applications at scale. Zero search volume; demand is latent within partner/affiliate networks, not a standalone search category. TAM is mid-market to enterprise firms with active partner ecosystems.
