Full Reasoning
Wins by directly attacking the opaque, expensive agency model with clear, actionable SEO audits and developer-friendly exports. The asymmetric bet is providing 'agency-quality' insights at a fraction of the cost via AI and a focused, one-time purchase model. Builders should learn to own a specific pain point (actionable fixes) and price it transparently to bypass traditional sales cycles, commoditizing what was once a high-touch service.
