# seed — rough starting ideas

This is where the hunt *starts*, not where it lands. It's a handful of
rough directions to open the Phase (i) conversation between you and the
ideator. The ideator reads this, talks it through with you, and converges
it into `direction.md` — the settled charter the autonomous hunt runs on.

**This is the one file you edit to point the team at your own interests.**
Replace these with your own rough ideas or a direction, then DM the
ideator to settle it.

## Rough directions

- **Tools for solo founders.** The unglamorous back-office work — bookkeeping,
  contracts, compliance reminders — that one-person companies still have to do.
  Where's the thing they'd pay for on day one?
- **"Boring" B2B with no good small-team option.** Categories dominated by
  enterprise suites that are overkill (and overpriced) for a 5-person shop.
- **Post-AI workflows.** Now that drafting is cheap, the bottleneck moved to
  *review, judgment, and trust*. What new tool does that shift create demand for?
- **Local-first / offline-first.** Products people want to own their data on —
  a privacy-respecting take on something currently cloud-locked.

## Constraints to keep in mind

- A startup, not a feature. It needs a wedge a small team could actually own.
- Buildable: the *prototype* must be provable without a miracle or a big budget.
- Real demand: someone is already complaining about this, somewhere public.

(Nothing here is committed. The ideator won't start hunting until you and it
have written `direction.md` together.)
