Public teardown library
Five cold-start growth teardowns for solo software products.
These summaries are based on publicly visible pages. They show the teardown frame: product expression, search opportunities, content assets, distribution surfaces, conversion paths, and 90-day recommendations. They are not client case studies or partnership claims.
The first targets.
The set covers creator SaaS, developer APIs, marketing automation APIs, no-code micro SaaS, and AI tools. Full drafts and source records live in the repository docs.

The teardown frame.
Every teardown should answer where the product can become clearer, searchable, distributed, trusted, and measurable.
Product and ICP summary
Who it is for, what it solves, why now, and where the homepage currently creates ambiguity.
Search opportunity map
Use cases, alternatives, comparisons, workflows, templates, tutorials, and free tools worth testing.
Distribution surface
Directories, communities, resource pages, newsletters, launch channels, and external mention opportunities.
Conversion path review
CTA, onboarding, trust signals, pricing clarity, trial path, and follow-up moments.
Tracking and feedback loop
Search Console, analytics, events, source records, customer feedback, and monthly review cadence.
90-day growth recommendation
What to do first, what to delay, what to avoid, and which signal should decide the next move.
Candidate categories
Publication rule
No fake cases, no private client claims, no confidential metrics. Public teardowns use accessible public pages only, and separate facts, inferences, and recommendations.
