The more it's used, the harder it is to replace
One-Liner
Competitive youth clubs digitize multi-year tryout assessment sheets via photo upload → AI builds a longitudinal development profile for each player from ages 8-14 → coaches see growth history; directors make data-informed placement decisions.
Kill Reason

killed: Sermon archive search and gap analysis is a plausible feature within existing church media platforms (Subsplash, Faithlife, Planning Center), not a standalone business; the incumbent threat is existential for a single-purpose tool at this price point.
killed: Coach performance dashboards for youth sports clubs are a feature that major sports management platforms (SportsEngine, TeamSnap, Stack Sports) can absorb; the per-club data accumulates no cross-network value, and club budget constraints make a standalone SaaS model unviable.
killed: Community theater organizations run on volunteer labor and near-zero software budgets; a casting database tool for this audience has no clear path to meaningful revenue and faces instant replication by any developer with basic database and LLM API access.
