SaaS Opportunity Scan
A weekend research pass on where the actual B2B pain is — and proof that X trends are the wrong instrument for finding it.
What it does
- Pulled 50 US X trends: ~60% sports, ~20% wrestling, 0% software. Structural, not a bad day.
- Cross-read Hacker News upvotes and Product Hunt launches instead.
- Found the convergent theme: AI agents are doing real work inside companies and the governance/cost/trust layer does not exist yet.
How it works
Trends rank by velocity of mention, which live events dominate by design. B2B pain is discussed steadily by small numbers of people, so it never spikes. Upvote-weighted sources surface it; trend lists never will.
