The pain point is real: founders know conversion is leaking but can't pinpoint UX issues. The gap is not in demand but in trust and distribution — you need a credible portfolio and social proof to get paid. Hard part is building authority without a following. What has to be true: you can get 2-3 public audits noticed by founders, and at least one converts to paid work.

The idea

The pain point is real: founders know conversion is leaking but can't pinpoint UX issues. The gap is not in demand but in trust and distribution — you need a credible portfolio and social proof to get paid. Hard part is building authority without a following. What has to be true: you can get 2-3 public audits noticed by founders, and at least one converts to paid work.

Founders often ignore UX until metrics drop. Public audits build credibility fast if noticed. Loom videos have higher engagement than written reports.

Founders actively seek conversion feedback on social media. Loom videos have higher engagement than text posts. Free audits can convert to paid work with good results.

Many startups, few good auditors Conversion leaks are painful but not urgent

Why now

Heuristic scoring based on model judgment, not factual measurement.

Loom and social media amplify reach Founders obsessed with conversion Crowded but no dominant startup specialist

The UX audit market for startups is growing, with strong demand signals and low barriers to entry. However, distribution remains the key challenge — public audits require a following or lucky virality. The timing is favorable for a technical founder who can combine human expertise with a custom delivery platform.
