📌 Additional Guidelines
Be specific. No generic startup fluff.
Use insights from both Reddit post and comments — controversy often hides signal.
Think like a builder: can this startup be built, validated, and tested with low cost?
Data must come from real web search results — not assumptions.
Keep the tone simple, natural, and human — avoid corporate-speak.
