Which service should you test?
Pick two or three service ideas. Score each one from 1 to 5 using evidence you have today. A high score means “investigate,” not “launch.” Your entries are not saved. Copy them before leaving or refreshing this page.
1 = weak or unknown evidence
5 = strong evidence you can explain
Swipe sideways to compare all three ideas.

Before trusting a score, write down the evidence behind it. Unknown is an answer. Check license rules and technical requirements separately before committing to any service.
Now test your top two.
Talk to potential customers and operators. Price the first jobs. Map the work from lead to payment. Decide what evidence would make you stop.
