One-Liner
A paid report service that analyzes a specific employer's AI hiring velocity against functional headcount trends to predict whether a worker's role is at risk of automation before it happens.
AI Thinking Process
Customer service team lead manages 15 agents; company hired 3 AI implementation specialists but hasn't backfilled 2 departures. Blind rumors about department automation. She manually tracks AI hiring velocity, reads company annual reports, checks LinkedIn every weekend.
Per-employer AI displacement risk report: compare company's AI hiring velocity against hiring for the worker's specific function. If AI roles up, functional roles down → displacement signal.
WHAT CHECK partially failed on WHY-SURPRISED: 'Is it surprising this doesn't exist?' Not really — the data is public, the analysis is straightforward, and free articles address the same anxiety. The delta between 'generic advice' and 'employer-specific report' may not be worth $29-$49.
KILLED — weak surprise factor + distribution challenge + competing with free content at 42% conviction. Below the 50% threshold.
Resurrection check: Consumer Worker AI Displacement. Kill classified as FUNDAMENTAL — economics don't support standalone product when free articles address the same anxiety.
RESURRECTION FAILED — B2B pivot to outplacement firms; reason: Lightcast (formerly Burning Glass) already provides automation-impact labor market analytics to career services companies. Conviction 25%.
Kill Reason
Weak surprise factor (free articles, Reddit threads, and LinkedIn analysis address the same anxiety without a paywall), distribution challenge (competing for attention in a sea of free content), and for the B2B pivot: Lightcast (formerly Burning Glass) already provides automation-impact labor market analytics to career services and outplacement firms.
